Thanks also to those of you who have inquired about this revised and expanded version. We hope that you find this edition as helpful as the first to introduce seniors or graduate students to continuum mechanics. The second edition, like its predecessor, is an outgrowth of teaching con- tinuum mechanics to first- or second-year graduate students. Since my father is now fully retired, the course is being taught to students whose final degree will most likely be a Masters at Kettering University. A substantial percent- age of these students are working in industry, or have worked in industry, when they take this class. Because of this, the course has to provide the stu- dents with the fundamentals of continuum mechanics and demonstrate its applications. Very often, students are interested in using sophisticated simulation pro- grams that use nonlinear kinematics and a variety of constitutive relation- ships. Additions to the second edition have been made with these needs in mind. A student who masters its contents should have the mechanics foun- dation necessary to be a skilled user of today’s advanced design tools such as nonlinear, explicit finite elements. Of course, students need to augment the mechanics foundation provided herein with rigorous finite element training. Major highlights of the second edition include two new chapters, as well as significant expansion of two other chapters. First, Chapter Five, Fundamental Laws and Equations, was expanded to add material regarding constitutive equation development. This includes material on the second law of thermodynamics and invariance with respect to restrictions on constitu- tive equations. The first edition applications chapter covering elasticity and fluids has been split into two separate chapters. Elasticity coverage has been expanded by adding sections on Airy stress functions, torsion of noncircular cross sections, and three-dimensional solutions. A chapter on nonlinear elasticity has been added to give students a molecular and phenomenological introduction to rubber-like materials. Finally, a chapter introducing students to linear viscoelasticity is given since many important modern polymer applications involve some sort of rate dependent material response. It is not easy singling out certain people in order to acknowledge their help while not citing others; however, a few individuals should be thanked. Ms. Sheri Burton was instrumental in preparation of the second edition manuscript. We wish to acknowledge the many useful suggestions by users of the previous edition, especially Prof. Morteza M. Mehrabadi, Tulane University, for his detailed comments. Thanks also go to Prof. Charles Davis, Kettering University, for helpful comments on the molecular approach to rubber and thermoplastic elastomers. Finally, our families deserve sincerest thanks for their encouragement. It has been a great thrill to be able to work as a father-son team in publish- ing this text, so again we thank you, the reader, for your interest. G. Thomas Mase Flint, Michigan George E. Mase East Lansing, Michigan Preface to the First Edition (Note: Some chapter reference information has changed in the Second Edition.) Continuum mechanics is the fundamental basis upon which several graduate courses in engineering science such as elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity, and fluid mechanics are founded. With that in mind, this introductory treatment of the principles of continuum mechanics is written as a text suitable for a first course that provides the student with the necessary background in con- tinuum theory to pursue a formal course in any of the aforementioned sub- jects. We believe that first-year graduate students, or upper-level undergraduates, in engineering or applied mathematics with a working knowledge of calculus and vector analysis, and a reasonable competency in elementary mechanics will be attracted to such a course. This text evolved from the course notes of an introductory graduate contin- uum mechanics course at Michigan State University, which was taught on a quarter basis. We feel that this text is well suited for either a quarter or semes- ter course in continuum mechanics. Under a semester system, more time can be devoted to later chapters dealing with elasticity and fluid mechanics. For either a quarter or a semester system, the text is intended to be used in con- junction with a lecture course. The mathematics employed in developing the continuum concepts in the text is the algebra and calculus of Cartesian tensors; these are introduced and discussed in some detail in Chapter Two, along with a review of matrix meth- ods, which are useful for computational purposes in problem solving. Because of the introductory nature of the text, curvilinear coordinates are not introduced and so no effort has been made to involve general tensors in this work. There are several books listed in the Reference Section that a student may refer to for a discussion of continuum mechanics in terms of general ten- sors. Both indicial and symbolic notations are used in deriving the various equations and formulae of importance. Aside from the essential mathematics presented in Chapter Two, the book can be seen as divided into two parts. The first part develops the principles of stress, strain, and motion in Chapters Three and Four, followed by the der- ivation of the fundamental physical laws relating to continuity, energy, and momentum in Chapter Five. The second portion, Chapter Six, presents some elementary applications of continuum mechanics to linear elasticity and clas- sical fluids behavior. Since this text is meant to be a first text in continuum mechanics, these topics are presented as constitutive models without any dis- cussion as to the theory of how the specific constitutive equation was derived. Interested readers should pursue more advanced texts listed in the Reference Section for constitutive equation development. At the end of each chapter (with the exception of Chapter One) there appears a collection of problems, with answers to most, by which the student may reinforce her/his understanding of the material presented in the text. In all, 186 such practice problems are provided, along with numerous worked examples in the text itself. Like most authors, we are indebted to many people who have assisted in the preparation of this book. Although we are unable to cite each of them individually, we are pleased to acknowledge the contributions of all. In addi- tion, sincere thanks must go to the students who have given feedback from the classroom notes which served as the forerunner to the book. Finally, and most sincerely of all, we express special thanks to our family for their encour- agement from beginning to end of this work. G. Thomas Mase Flint, Michigan George E. Mase East Lansing, Michigan Authors G. Thomas Mase, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Kettering University (formerly GMI Engineering & Management Institute), Flint, Michigan. Dr. Mase received his B.S. degree from Michigan State Uni- versity in 1980 from the Department of Metallurgy, Mechanics, and Materials Science. He obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 1982 and 1985, respec- tively, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Immediately after receiving his Ph.D., he worked for two years as a senior research engineer in the Engineering Mechanics Depart- ment at General Motors Research Laboratories. In 1987, he accepted an assis- tant professorship at the University of Wyoming and subsequently moved to Kettering University in 1990. Dr. Mase is a member of numerous professional societies including the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Society of Automotive Engineers, American Society of Engineering Education, Society of Experimental Mechanics, Pi Tau Sigma, Sigma Xi, and others. He received an ASEE/NASA Summer Faculty Fellowship in 1990 and 1991 to work at NASA Lewis Research Center.
