Fung-a First Course — In Continuum Mechanics.pdf

Continuum mechanics is a fundamental discipline in engineering and physics that deals with the study of the motion and behavior of continuous media, such as solids, fluids, and gases. The subject has numerous applications in various fields, including mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, and materials science. One of the most popular textbooks on continuum mechanics is "A First Course in Continuum Mechanics" by Y.C. Fung. In this article, we will provide an overview of the book and discuss the key concepts and principles of continuum mechanics.
