The second edition provides an update ofthe recent developments in classical andcomputational solid mechanics. The structureof the book is also updated to includefive new areas: Fundamental Principles ofThermodynamics and Coupled ThermoelasticConstitutive Equations at LargeDeformations, Functional Thermodynamicsand Thermoviscoelasticity, Thermodynamicswith Internal State Variables and Thermo-Elasto-Viscoplasticity, Electro-Thermo-Viscoelasticity/Viscoplasticity, and MeshlessMethod. These new topics are added as selfcontainedsections or chapters. Many booksin the market do not cover these topics.This invaluable book has been written forengineers and engineering scientists in astyle that is readable, precise, concise, andpractical. It gives the first priority to theformulation of problems, presenting theclassical results as the gold standard, and thenumerical approach as a tool for obtainingsolutions.
