Beschreibung

This text provides an introduction to the basic ideas of continuum physics and their application to a wealth of macroscopic phenomena. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the physical principles behind equations and the conditions underlying approximations. This edition includes three new chapters on elasticity of slender rods, energy, and entropy. It also offers more illustrations, improved physics arguments and mathematical presentations, and expanded problem sets. Ancillary materials can be found on a companion website. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption.
