Nonlinear Solid Mechanics: A Continuum Approach for Engineering

Great as a reference book. Covers a lot of material and does it well with examples. It would be difficult to self teach from this book, though I believe that is because the material is very difficult, not because the book does not cover it.

Excellent book for basics of continuum mechanics with specific attention to material modeling.

Very good introduction to Continuum Mechanics! Homework problems are insightful and chapters explain much of the content very clearly. I highly recommend for anyone interested in Mechanics of Materials in their graduate studies.

I bought this book for chapters 6 and 7 on hyperelasticity and the thermodynamics of solid continua, and professor Holzapfel does not disappoint. His explanations are careful and precise (for example he painstakingly notes when quantities like energy density are relative to the reference configuration of the object), and he synthesizes a great deal of advanced material on nonlinear elasticity in a form more accessible to non-mathematicians than Truesdell. This book is an invaluable reference for my work on computational nonlinear elastics. The only drawback is the quality of the printing. The text itself is perfectly legible, about equivalent to a good laser printer, but it's printed on rough paper that makes fine lines slightly wavy. The figures are all halftoned at low resolution, so they show very noticeable artifacts, though they are still legible. Inside the back cover, it says "Made in the USA, San Bernardino CA, 12 November 2016" (the day after I ordered it), so it must be a print-on-demand book. That would be fine for a novel, but not for a $70-plus-dollar reference book.

nice book. They have nice explanations on tensors amd their operations and also on kinematic part.

Very quick shipping and fair price. Book is in great condition.

perfect

Great book

An excellent book that should always be with you. Everything is explained very clearly. It is a reference book written in the field of Nonlinear Solid Mechanics.

It was my first experience to buy something online. On the recommendation of my good friends, without any hesitation I ordered this book. It was the first and best experience for me to buy the items online with amazon. Thanks for your most comfortable and reliable services to me.

GREAT

Uno de los mejores libros que he tenido en la carrera

Arrived rapidly in excellent condition. No problems. Look forward to reading!
