[资源] An Introduction to Continuum Mechanics (Mathematics in Science and Engineering)

An Introduction to Continuum Mechanics (Mathematics in Science and Engineering)
By Morton E. Gurtin

Publisher:   Academic Press
Number Of Pages:   265
Publication Date:   1981-11-28
ISBN-10 / ASIN:   0123097509
ISBN-13 / EAN:   9780123097507
Binding:   Hardcover


This book presents an introduction to the classical theories of continuum mechanics; in particular, to the theories of ideal, compressible, and viscous fluids, and to the linear and nonlinear theories of elasticity. These theories are important, not only because they are applicable to a majority of the problems in continuum mechanics arising in practice, but because they form a solid base upon which one can readily construct more complex theories of material behavior. Further, although attention is limited to the classical theories, the treatment is modern with a major emphasis on foundations and structure



Summary: Objecton

Regarding math in this book, I compeletly disagree with the reviewer from Rotterdam. Gurtin introduces gradients of tensor functions in much more general way than many books on the cont. mech. He also introduces div,curl,outer product operations differently than just by giving appriopriate formulas with partial derivatives. So my match taste is compeletly different and I recommend this book.



Summary: WORTHLESS

This book could as well be sold in the 'cooking books' section. Does not delve deeply into the math and only provides clear-cut recipes. Does not inspire the reader to really think about the stuff. I would recommend this book to nobody.

When I took a class on Solid mechanics, during the first few lectures the instructor (who himself is quite well-known) was literally chanting "Gurtin". When I read a couple of chapters myself, I understood why my professor likes this book.

Gurtin is internationally known for his contributions to Continuum mechanics. This is a very good book. The style is very good. Many journal papers on continuum mechanics and finite elements, cite this book.

Any one who want to get a thorough introduction to continuum mechanics should have this book. This book is also highly recommended to those who are interested in nonlinear finite elements.

The only problem with book is that it is little expensive (around $115).

This book is compact, yet explains the generalizations of linear tranfsormations in a thorough, concise way. This makes it a nice "transition" text from vector analysis and introductory tensor courses into more advanced expositions on tensors. I can't vouch for Malvern, and this probably isn't the forum to "correct" other reviewers. All in all this is one of the better math books out there.

Summary: An excellent classic in Continuum Mechanics
Rating: 5

I have read this book from cover to cover and have done all the exercises in it and cannot find a better book to recommend to other scientists wishing to learn continuum mechanics! I believe the book contains enough details, though one definitely has to complete the exercises after each chapter to get an understanding of how brilliant is the author's approach to the subject. It is a concise, yet at the same time a very complete introduction into the topics in Continuum mechanics. Every student studying mechanics should be proud to own this classic!
