Preface to the Fifth Edition

This new edition addresses such modern topics of continuum mechanics as electro-
and magnetoelasticity. In particular, we derive the electrostatic and magnetic
Maxwell stresses as additional examples for the application of the momentum
balance. Some classical topics of continuum mechanics as the mass transport and
mass balance equation are treated as well. Motivated by my students, I again added
many new problems with solutions. For example, one of these problems deals with
the kinematics of the picture frame test. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Dieter
Merkle from the Springer-Verlag for his support in getting this edition published.

Preface to the Fourth Edition

In this edition, some new examples dealing with the inertia tensor and with the
propagation of compression and shear waves in an isotropic linear-elastic medium
are incorporated. Section 3.3 is completely revised and enriched by an example of
thin membranes under hydrostatic pressure. The so-derived Laplace law is illus-
trated there by a thin wall vessel of a torus form under internal pressure. In Chapter
8, I introduced a section concerned with the deformation of a line, area, and volume
element and some accompanying kinematic identities. Similar to the previous
edition, some new exercises and solutions are added.

Preface to the Third Edition

This edition is enriched by some new examples, problems, and solutions in par-
ticular concerned with simple shear. I also added an example with the derivation of
constitutive relations and tangent moduli for hyperelastic materials with the iso-
choric–volumetric split of the strain energy function. Besides, Chapter 2 is com-
pleted by some new figures for instance illustrating spherical coordinates. These
figures have again been prepared by Uwe Navrath. I also gratefully acknowledge
Khiêm Ngoc Vu for a careful proofreading of the manuscript. At this opportunity, I
would also like to thank the Springer-Verlag and, in particular, Jan-Philip Schmidt
for the fast and friendly support in getting this edition published.

Preface to the Second Edition

This second edition is completed by a number of additional examples and exercises.


In response to comments and questions of students using this book, solutions of
many exercises have been improved for a better understanding. Some changes and
enhancements are concerned with the treatment of skew-symmetric and rotation
tensors in the first chapter. Besides, the text and formulae have thoroughly been
reexamined and improved where necessary.
