The mechanics of fluids and the mechanics of solids symbolize the 2 significant parts of physics and utilized arithmetic that meet in continuum mechanics, a box that kinds the basis of civil and mechanical engineering. This unified method of the educating of fluid and reliable mechanics specializes in the overall mechanical rules that follow to all fabrics. scholars who've familiarized themselves with the elemental ideas can pass directly to specialise in any of the several branches of continuum mechanics. this article opens with introductory chapters on matrix algebra, vectors and Cartesian tensors, and an research of deformation and rigidity. Succeeding chapters study the mathematical statements of the legislation of conservation of mass, momentum, and effort in addition to the formula of the mechanical constitutive equations for numerous periods of fluids and solids. as well as many labored examples, this quantity incorporates a graded collection of difficulties (with solutions, the place appropriate). aimed toward undergraduate scholars of utilized arithmetic, it's going to additionally turn out worthwhile to physicists and engineers.
