The authors’ \"continuum checklist\" provides a framework for a wide variety of problems in solid and fluid mechanics. The essence of continuum mechanics, the internal response of materials to external loading, is often obscured by the complex mathematics of its formulation. By gradually building the formulations from one-dimensional to two- and three-dimensional, the authors help students develop a physical intuition for solid and fluid behavior and for the very interesting behavior of those materials including many biomaterials, between these extremes. This text is an accessible first introduction to the mechanics of all engineering materials, and incorporates a wide range of case studies highlighting the relevance of the technical content in societal, historical, ethical, and global contexts. It also offers a useful perspective for engineers concerned with biomedical, civil, chemical, mechanical, or other applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew in the Second Edition: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe latest edition contains significantly more examples, problems, and case studies than the first edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 22 chapters in this text: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefine and present the template for the continuum approach\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduce strain and stress in one dimension, develop a constitutive law, and apply these concepts to the simple case of an axially loaded bar\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtend the concepts to higher dimensions by introducing the Poisson’s ratio and strain and stress tensors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApply the continuum sense of solid mechanics to problems including torsion, pressure vessels, beams, and columns\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMake connections between solid and fluid mechanics, introducing properties of fluids and strain rate tensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddress fluid statics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsider applications in fluid mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelop the governing equations in both control volume and differential forms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasize real-world design applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Engineering Mechanics: A Continuum Approach, Second Edition provides a thorough understanding of how materials respond to loading: how solids deform and incur stress and how fluids flow.
