Tedious and slow to get going Adam O. Roslund This book contains very little continuum mechanics in it. It starts out with a tedious development of suffix notation, as well as two chapters developing the properties of cartesian tensors of second order. Unfortunately, this includes proving such basic things as the sum of two tensors being a tensor. The author seems to also enjoy avoiding conventional notation wherever possible, and places everything (products of matrices, products of matrices and vectors, cross products) in suffix notation, which blurs clarity quite often for those new to the convention. Furthermore, the fun. "Nice math book but not enough physics" according to MDC. This book is a nice tensor analysis book, however, basically nothing about constitutive theory (one of the most important results in continuum physics) is presented. There are other continuum mechanics books out there in this price range that are better (e.g. Spencer, Gurtinetc.). Continuum mechanics Christos Tsoumeleas This is a very good introductory book on continuum mechanics. I believe that the use of the suffix notation that the authors adopt throughout the book makes it easier for the reader to put in practical use the theoretical principles developed in chapters 5,6,7 and 8.
