Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Written for engineers and engineering scientists, this book gives first priority to the formulation of problems, presenting the classical results as the gold standard, and the numerical approach as a tool for obtaining solutions. The classical part is a revision of the text "Foundations of Solid Mechanics", with a much-expanded discussion on the theories of plasticity and large elastic deformation with finite strains. The computational part is all new and aims to solve major linear and nonlinear boundary-value problems.

3 out of 5 stars Good to know wide overview in solid mechanics   October 19, 2009
Rudolf A. P. Hellmuth (São Paulo, Brazil)
It's good to have a wide overview in Solid Mechanics, but it's not very clear explaining finite non-linear deformations and finite element analysis. There are better and more modern books for that. Sometimes it's confusing.


5 out of 5 stars Great book   September 22, 2008
Scott Shirey
Bought this book for a class I am taking. Well written and easy to understand.

The authors are very keen on this area. The book is suite for the researcher.


5 out of 5 stars Fung's Solid Mechanics   January 21, 2007
WLH of Sedona (Arizona)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I was an acquaintance of Professor Y.C. "Burt" Fung when he wrote his classic Solid Mechanics book - "Foundations of Solid Mechanics." He had just left Cal Tech to work in the field of Biomechanics at UC San Diego. This book contains much of the same material, updated to the present time, with very nice historical writings about the founders of Solid Mechanics. This is an excellent reference for anyone that considers themself a solid mechaniker.


5 out of 5 stars Elasticity reference   January 4, 2007

I found it to be an excellent reference for Elasticity and Inelasticity material. It is a good addition to my library.
