This is a formal book on introductory continuum mechanics, written primarily for applied mathematicians and theoretical engineers kept in the style of rational continuum mechanics and consisting of seven chapters. The preface provides a brief descriptive coverage of its content. Chapter 1 gives an introduction into tensors at an intermediate level using symbolic and Cartesian tensor notation interchangingly. The spectral properties of symmetric tensors and their polar decomposition, simple isotropic tensor functions as well as differentiation and integral laws are discussed. The chapter ends with an introduction to groups where the maximality of the orthogonal group in the unimodular group is derived. Chapter 2 is devoted to kinematics; the motion function and its spatial and time derivatives are introduced as are various measures of strain and rates of strain as suggested in the Eulerian and Lagrangian description.Chapter 3 carries the vague title,‘‘Governing Equations,’’but is devoted to the conservation laws of mass, linear and angular momenta, and the energy and entropy balances. It also covers a presentation of the properties of the Cauchy stress tensor and introduces into a variational formulation of the mechanical equations. Constitutive relations are dealt with in Chapter 4. Frame indifference is discussed both as invariance under a change of observer as well as one under a superimposed rigid body motion.
