The work is essentially divided into two parts. The first five chapters deal with the basic continuum theory while the final four chapters cover certain portions of specific areas of application. Following an initial chapter on the mathematics relevant to the study, the theory portion contains additional chapters on the Analysis of Stress, Deformation and Strain, Motion and Flow, and Fundamental Continuum Laws. Applications are treated in the final four chapters on Elasticity, Fluids, Plasticity and Viscoelasticity. At the end of each chapter a collection of solved problems together with several exercises for the student serve to illustrate and reinforce the ideas presented in the text.
