Continuum Mechanics is a branch of physical mechanics. It is fundamental to the fields of civil, mechanical, chemical and bioengineering. This time-tested text has been used for real-life engineering students, as well as graduate students. The text begins with a detailed presentation of the coordinate invariant quantity, the tensor, as a linear transformation. This is a translation of the subject of the kinematics of deformation, as well as the basic laws of continuum mechanics. As the elastic, viscous and viscoelastic materials, are presented.
