Description
This senior undergraduate and first-year graduate text provides a concise treatment of the subject of continuum mechanics and elasticity.
About the Author
J. N. Reddy is a Distinguished Professor, Regents Professor, and the Holder of Oscar S. Wyatt Endowed Chair in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A & M University. He is internationally-recognized for his research and education in applied and computational mechanics. The shear deformation plate and shell theories that he developed bear his name (the Reddy third-order shear deformation theory and the Reddy layerwise theory) in the literature. The finite element formulations and models he developed have been implemented into commercial software like ABAQUS, NISA, and HyperXtrude. He is the author of nearly 600 journal papers and twenty textbooks, some of them with multiple editions.
Reviews
'A gutsy attempt at a simplified yet insightful treatment of continuum mechanics, Principles of Continuum Mechanics 2nd Edition offers a rare opportunity for the uninitiated audience, including students at the undergraduate level, to learn the essence of the philosophy and the working of the continuum theory of solids and fluids. It has substantive appeal, not just for the beginner, but also for those intending to make use of basic continuum mechanics for industrial or research purposes of an interdisciplinary nature.' Debasish Roy, Indian Institute of Science
'J. N. Reddy's Principles of Continuum Mechanics excels at presenting in a comprehensible and rigorous style a topic that is generally found challenging by students. The book includes numerous examples and analogies that facilitate a solid understanding of otherwise sophisticated concepts, and it provides extensive discussions and inspiring quotes that motivate the reader to regard this discipline within its wider scientific context.' Gabriel Potirniche, University of Idaho
