Description: This outstanding approach to Continuum Mechanics follows the traditional lectures held at the Ecole Polytechnique. Its highly mathematical level of teaching, together with abstracts, summaries, boxes of essential formulas and numerous exercises with solutions, make the Handbook of Continuum Mechanics the most complete book in this area. Students, lecturers, and practitioners alike will find it a rich source for their studies or daily work. A fold-out glossary and a short reader as a booklet are included.
