“Motivated students will benefit from this systematic, disciplined and concise treatment of the fundamentals of continuum mechanics. Many practitioners will also appreciate the logical organization, and the lucid descriptions of such matters as the distinctions between the various common stress and strain measures.” (Pure and Applied Geophysics, 1 November 2015) A concise introductory course text on continuum mechanicsFundamentals of Continuum Mechanics focuses on the fundamentals of the subject and provides the background for formulation of numerical methods for large deformations and a wide range of material behaviours. It aims to provide the foundations for further study, not just of these subjects, but also the formulations for much more complex material behaviour and their implementation computationally. This book is divided into 5 parts, covering mathematical preliminaries, stress, motion and deformation, balance of mass, momentum and energy, and ideal constitutive relations and is a suitable textbook for introductory graduate courses for students in mechanical and civil engineering, as well as those studying material science, geology and geophysics and biomechanics.

He has been awarded the Biot Medal from the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Brown Engineering Alumni Medal, the Daniel C. Rudnicki received his bachelor, master’s and PhD degrees from Brown University in the USA, the last in 1977. He has been especially interested in deformation instabilities in brittle rocks and granular media, including their interactions with pore fluids, with applications to the mechanics of earthquakes and environment- and resource-related geomechanics
