Continuum Mechanics
by
George Backus
The three
main sections of the book include: I) an overview of tensors over
Euclidean vector spaces (multilinear mappings, definitions of
tensors over Euclidean vector spaces, alternating tensors,
tensor products, integral calculus of tensors, and integral identities),
II) elementary continuum mechanics (Eulerian and Lagrangian description
of a continuum, conservation laws in a continuum, strain and
deformation, and constitutive relations), and III) exercises.
