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.

5Fung's Solid Mechanics  Jan 21, 2007 By WLH of Sedona
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.

5Bible for solid mechanics  Dec 15, 2002 By G. Qi
A great bible in solid mechanics created by 2 excellent masters from China, which have fundamantal contributions to contemperary mechanics and FEM.
In first part, you will read the complete methodology in classic solid mech. While in second part, the outline of FEM has been demonstrated clearly.


5Quality  Jan 27, 2010 By M. Frazier
My professor was new to teaching and, coupled with his heavy Chinese accent, it soon became obvious that a book would be necessary for me to learn and understand the material in this class. So I purchased two books before acquiring this one, and this one is by far the best of them all. It explains everything in detail and rarely skips steps when deriving an equation and always states the assumptions upon which that equation is derived. I have not read the entire book - probably about half - but the portions I have read explained concepts in a non-boring, easy-to-understand way. This book helped me a lot in class and, after the end of the course, I decided to keep it for future reference rather than sell it. This is a good book. Buy it!


3Good to know wide overview in solid mechanics  Oct 19, 2009 By Rudolf A. P. Hellmuth
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.

5Great book  Sep 22, 2008 By Scott Shirey
Bought this book for a class I am taking. Well written and easy to understand.
