From the book reviews: "This textbook is addressed to teachers and students of mechanical and civil engineering. ... To help the reader to become more proficient, each chapter ends with exercises some of which can be solved effectively by using Mathematica. ... The main goal of this textbook is to help readers to acquire both a good grasp of the first principles from which the igoverning equations can be derived, and the adequate mathematical methods for their solving." (Vasile Marinca, zbMATH, Vol. 1303, 2015)

• Part I Linear theory.- Part II Nonlinear theory.
