Overview: Includes numerous homework problems and exercises.Proposes a systematic and methodological approach for the analysis of the linear and non-linear mechanical behavior of solid materials.Self-contained,This book offers an essential introduction to the linear and non-linear behavior of solid materials, and to the concepts of deformation, displacement and stress, within the context of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics. To illustrate the fundamental principles, the book starts with an overview of solid mechanics, experimental methods, classes of material behaviors, and the thermodyna
