Schaums Outline Of Continuum Mechanics (Pb 2020)

V good

This review is not for the content of the book but about the quality of printing and paper. This is the worst quality of paper for any technical book. None of the figures are clear, you will end up wondering if It is worth reducing the quality to such levels for reducing cost in Indian subcontinent...

Schaum series books are always known for quality and this book is no exception to that rule.Excellent book with hundreds of solved and unsolved problems.Brief theory is given in each topic followed by worked examples and exercises for practice.By solving the examples and then exercises the student is sure to master all concepts and be able to solve any problem .

In the Schaum style, but not as readable as the best in the series.

The book was good, i needed for one course at university and it helped me a lot, has lots of good examples

Excellent book, however, figure of book don't have a good quality, of PDF on internet have more quality that print.

Para el estudio genial

This is a great text to use as a quick reference for most things continuum mechanics- Mase does a very respectable job at summarizing this beautiful subject. I think this would be a great supplement to a CM course, although the notation strays from what is popular today. The power of this book is that almost everything appears in both indicial notation and Gibbs (boldface) notation. This makes it easy to follow along even if you aren't yet comfortable with the indicial notation. The worked problems are all very brief- they demonstrate in perhaps the simplest manner possible the basics of mechanics. Like every other CM book out there, this one has a few things that are done exceptionally well, and a few things that fall short. I will continue my search for the best CM book in print...Across 200 some pages, the topics include math prelims; stress; deformation; kinematics; balance laws; linear elasticity; linear fluids; classical plasticity; classical viscoelasticity. The figures are clear and illustrate the points being made. I don't know if I got a bad printing, but the superposed dots used to indicate time derivatives didn't appear in my copy.
