Concepts and Applications of Continuum Mechanics

Covering every aspect of Continuum Mechanics this book brilliantly elucidates its concepts and applications. Continuum mechanics is the base of Applied Mechanics. There are a number of books on Continuum Mechanics emphasizing on the macro-scale mechanical conduct of materials. Unlike traditional Continuum Mechanics books this book provides synopsis on the developments in some specific areas of Continuum Mechanics. This book focuses primarily on the applications aspects. Energy materials and systems i.e. fuel cell materials and electrodes substance deportation and mechanical response/deformation of plates pipelines etc. have been covered under the applications described in this book. Researchers from different fields will benefit from reading about the mechanics approach to solve engineering problems.
