Paperback : £51.20
Introduction to Mechanics of Solid Materials is concerned with the deformation, flow, and fracture of solid materials. This textbook offers a unified presentation of the major concepts in Solid Mechanics for junior/senior-level undergraduate students in the many branches of engineering - mechanical, materials, civil, and aeronautical engineering among others. The book begins by covering the basics of kinematics and strain, and stress
and equilibrium, followed by a coverage of the small deformation theories for different types of material response: (i) Elasticity; (ii) Plasticity and Creep; (iii) Fracture and Fatigue; and (iv)
Viscoelasticity. The book has additional chapters covering the important material classes of: (v) Rubber Elasticity, and (vi) Continuous-fiber laminated composites. The text includes numerous examples to aid the student. A substantial companion volume with example problems is available free of charge on the book's companion website.

The book is well-crafted and organized logically. It fills a void
in need for a book that is lucid and accessible to undergraduates
taking a course in advanced mechanics of materials. The material
covered spans a whole range of topics relevant to modern
applications of solid mechanics, including fracture and fatigue,
rubber elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, and
fiber-reinforced composites. This is an excellent book authored by
leading authorities in the field who have taught this course at
their respective universities. The companion book on example
problems is a welcome addition.
*Ravi Ravichandran, Caltech*
This book is of the highest technical quality and maintains clarity
for understanding. It covers a wide range of relevant topics for
the undergraduate student in mechanics of solid materials and with
a well thought out level of depth per topic. A notable feature of
this book is that the authors are able to summarize the main ideas
in easy to digest modules that give the student a sense of the
topic... This book does a great job at bringing a fresh set of
ideas into the undergraduate curriculum and therefore will find a
wide audience with upper level undergraduates all over the
world.
*Shawn A. Chester, New Jersey Institute of Technology*
This book covers at the right level of detail most of the important
topics in solid mechanics including fracture, fatigue,
viscoelasticity, composites, rubbers, etc., that are important in
modern applications.
*Prashant K. Purohit, University of Pennsylvania*
The text is written with the required rigor to address the topics
therein, while ensuring that the mathematics and surrounding prose
is appealing to the intended target audience.
