Reviews

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.
*Dr Brian Mercer, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign*
