Classical mechanics; Mechanics of solids; Testing of materials

This book presents an introduction to material theory and, in particular, to elasticity, plasticity and viscoelasticity, to bring the reader close to the frontiers of today’s knowledge in these particular fields. It starts right from the beginning without assuming much knowledge of the subject. Hence, the book is generally comprehensible to all engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and others. At the beginning of each new section, a brief Comment on the Literature contains recommendations for further reading.

This book includes an updated reference list and over 100 changes throughout the book. It contains the latest knowledge on the subject.

Two new chapters have been added in this new edition. Now finite viscoelasticity is included, and an Essay on gradient materials, which have recently drawn much attention.

Albrecht Bertram, born in 1950, is professor for engineering mechanics at the University of Magdeburg and the Technical University of Berlin. He was visiting professor at Paris Tech and the University of California in Berkeley. His field of research is continuum mechanics and in particular, material modeling (elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity, damage, anisotropy, micro-macro, gradient materials, etc.).
