In their prior Dover book, Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua, the authors provided a self-contained account of classical mechanics. This supplement and update offers a bridge to contemporary mechanics. The original book's focus on continuum mechanics forms the basis for this discussion of nonlinear continuous systems. 2006 edition. Dover original, a supplement and update of the authors' previous Dover book, Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua.
Here's a sample of other books in this Dover category
Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems by Alexander L. Fetter, John Dirk Walecka Self-contained treatment of nonrelativistic many-particle systems discusses both formalism and applications in terms of ground-state (zero-temperature) formalism, finite-temperature formalism, canonical transformations, and applications to physical systems. 1971 edition.
Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua by Alexander L. Fetter, John Dirk Walecka Lucid, self-contained account provides natural framework for the introduction of advanced mathematical concepts in physics. Topics include Lagrangian dynamics, Hamiltonian dynamics, fluids and sound and surface waves, more. 1980 edition.
Engineering Mechanics for Structures by Louis L. Bucciarelli This text explores the mechanics of solids and statics as well as the strength of materials and elasticity theory. Its many design exercises encourage creative initiative and systems thinking. 2009 edition.
