Reviews

From the reviews: The book is divided in two parts: part 1 treats mechanics of materials based on continuum mechanics principles, and part 2 discusses the fundamental behavior of the strength of materials. ! This book is quite concise in providing all necessary theory ! . it is a fine book for university libraries to acquire as a resource. (S. C. Anand, Choice, Vol. 43 (10), 2006) The first edition of this textbook was written in Portuguese (1995). ! All chapters enclose examples and exercises. The book gives an interesting introduction on topics of solid mechanics, the theory of slender members, and the theory of structures on an accurate level. It can be recommended to engineering students who are looking for a text book on a higher theoretical level as usually. (Johannes Altenbach, Zeitschrift fur Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 87 (1), 2007)
