Introduction to Mechanics of Solid Materials is concerned with the deformation, flow, and fracture of solid materials. This textbook offers a unified presentation of the major concepts in Solid Mechanics for junior/senior-level undergraduate students in the many branches of engineering - mechanical, materials, civil, and aeronautical engineering among others. The book begins by covering the basics of kinematics and strain, and stress and equilibrium, followed by a coverage of the small deformation theories for different types of material response: (i) Elasticity; (ii) Plasticity and Creep; (iii) Fracture and Fatigue; and (iv) Viscoelasticity. The book has additional chapters covering the important material classes of: (v) Rubber Elasticity, and (vi) Continuous-fiber laminated composites. The text includes numerous examples to aid the student. A substantial companion volume with example problems is available free of charge on the book's companion website.

Continuum Mechanics of Solids is an introductory text for graduate students in the many branches of engineering, covering the basics of kinematics, equilibrium, and material response. As an introductory book, most of the emphasis is upon the kinematically linear theories of elasticity, plasticity, and viscoelasticity, with two additional chapters devoted to topics in finite elasticity. Further chapters cover topics in fracture and fatigue and coupled field problems, such as thermoelasticity, chemoelasticity, poroelasticity, and piezoelectricity. There is ample material for a two semester course, or by selecting only topics of interest for a one-semester offering. The text includes numerous examples to aid the student. A companion text with over 180 fully worked problems is also available.

The coupled response of solid materials to multiple fields, such as deformation, heat, electricity, and magnetism, plays a crucial role in modern engineering applications, from soft robotics to energy storage. Advancing theoretical models and numerical implementations for these coupled behaviours in solids is a challenging and exciting frontier in mechanics. This textbook introduces some foundational coupled theories in solid mechanics by starting from fundamental principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, and electrodynamics, and specializing to model particular 'smart materials'. Numerous representative simulations are provided, demonstrating key coupled behaviours and engineering applications for each theory. The large deformation coupled theories discussed in this book have been numerically implemented in the open-source finite element program FEniCS, and representative simulations which illustrate key coupled behaviors are presented for each theory. The FEniCS codes for the representative simulations shown in this book are available online on the book's companion website: .Ideal for graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers, Introduction to Coupled Theories in Solid Mechanics serves as both an introduction to the field and a foundational resource for building the coupled theories and simulation tools of the future.

The Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Continua presents a unified treatment of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics that emphasises the universal status of the basic balances and the entropy imbalance. These laws are viewed as fundamental building blocks on which to frame theories of material behaviour. As a valuable reference source, this book presents a detailed and complete treatment of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics for graduates and advanced undergraduates in engineering, physics and mathematics. The chapters on plasticity discuss the standard isotropic theories and, in addition, crystal plasticity and gradient plasticity.
