Praise for the First Edition The text is written in an elegant mathematical style. --CHOICE ! a complete and modern course on this fundamental field of continuum mechanics ! combines the accuracy of mathematical formulations and proofs of basic theorems with the educational aspects ! the book is strongly recommended for graduate students of technical universities, especially to students of applied and computational mechanics. The book is also very useful to those preparing Ph.D. theses, and to all scientists conducting research, who need a background in solid mechanics. --Journal of Thermal Stresses, 29, 2006 An advanced approach to the subject in both contents and style. It is highly recommended to graduate students, engineers and scientists. --ZAMM-Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Vol. 42, No. 2
