“Principles of Continuum Mechanics can nevertheless serve as a useful quick-reference summary of major results and analysis methods in continuum mechanics.” (R. M. Brannon, Physics Today, April, 2020)“The book will be a useful support for undergraduate students from different fields. It can also be useful to researchers who will find the bases of continuum mechanics with examples.” (Alain Brillard, zbMATH 1428.74001, 2020)
