Continuum Mechanics by D. S. Chandrasekharaiah (PDF)

Description

A detailed and self-contained text written for beginners, Continuum Mechanics offers concise coverage of the basic concepts, general principles, and applications of continuum mechanics. Without sacrificing rigor, the clear and simple mathematical derivations are made accessible to a large number of students with little or no previous background in solid or fluid mechanics. With the inclusion of more than 250 fully worked-out examples and 500 worked exercises, this book is certain to become a standard introductory text for students as well as an indispensable reference for professionals.Provides a clear and self-contained treatment of vectors, matrices, and tensors specifically tailored to the needs of continuum mechanicsDevelops the concepts and principles common to all areas in solid and fluid mechanics with a common notation and terminologyCovers the fundamentals of elasticity theory and fluid mechanics

⭐I received my book! Thank you so much

⭐One of the best books on continuum mechanics I ever read during my PhD. Very few books are as concise and mathematically rigorous. This book presents text in rock solid mathematical rigor.

⭐Excellent book at providing the basic mathematical formulation for continuum mechanics. Not many applications but then you should be reading books on elasticity or solid mechanics for that stuff anyway.

⭐This book is a nice tensor analysis book, however, basically nothing about constitutive theory (one of the most important results in continuum physics) is presented. There are other continuum mechanics books out there in this price range that are better (e.g. Spencer, Gurtin…etc.)

⭐This is a very good introductory book on continuum mechanics. I believe that the use of the suffix notation that the authors adopt throughout the book makes it easier for the reader to put in practical use the theoretical principles developed in chapters 5,6,7 and 8.

⭐In this book, suffix notation is presented in a short but comprehensive manner. All the disciplines of mechanics using notations of tensors and vectors, are readily understandable and coherent.

⭐This book contains very little continuum mechanics in it. It starts out with a tedious development of suffix notation, as well as two chapters developing the properties of cartesian tensors of second order. Unfortunately, this includes proving such basic things as the sum of two tensors being a tensor. The author seems to also enjoy avoiding conventional notation wherever possible, and places everything (products of matrices, products of matrices and vectors, cross products) in suffix notation, which blurs clarity quite often for those new to the convention. Furthermore, the fundamental laws of continuum mechanics are delayed until page 325 (the third from last chapter), leaving only two chapters (a measly two-thirds of the book) for elasticity and fluid mechanics. Finally, the style is a fairly strict theorem-proof, which makes it quite a dry read.

⭐I have found this book to be inciteful and helpful in covering Continuum Mechanics material. It is a great building block to start with.

⭐The book is absolutely fine but, was expecting hardbound cover… Otherwise okay.

⭐Boa tarde .Entendo que o livro não abre no meu dispositivo.Uso Ubuntu no meu notebook. Acesso o site do KindleCloudReader e nao consigo abrir o livro. O que fazer?
