Hi,
I found that Gerhard A. Holzapfel's book (Nonlinear Solid Mechanic - A Continuum Approach for Engineering) is an excellent one. Prof Romesh Batra's book is also nice.
Best regards,

the book written by Malvern is a comprehensive as well as introductory book in this field.

Hello,
Can anyone suggest me any good Introductory book in Continuum Mechanics? I am going to take the course next september but before doing that I want to study the basics, so I don't want to get involved yet in nonlinearities or other extreme fields.
Thanks a lot
Dimitri
The link to Paul Naghdi's lecture notes is here: http://me.berkeley.edu/csml/PMNnotes/ME185Naghdi.pdf
Incidentally a link to the above document is on the imechanica page that lists lecture notes of interest to mechanicians. See here: //m.limpotrade.com/node/1551
Many excellent sources of information are provided at the above link.
regards,
Louie

hello ericmock
can you please send me the copies (pdf) of the notes to my email id - karan.rahman@gmail.com ... thank you
In reply to Naghdi's Notes
Hello,
http://www.biomech.tugraz.at/book.htm
Nonlinear Solid Mechanics: A Continuum Approach for Engineering by Prof.Gerhard A. Holzapfel.
I used this book and its really reader-friendly!Please send the copy at pingle[at]m.kth.se or please post.I think there may not be any copywrite issue.
Is this course taught in ME or CE? Just wondering because when I took it from Paul Naghdi we did not cover nearly as much material in the first continuum mechanics course. Has this changed a great deal, or is this an entirely different course (i.e. not ME185)?
I was fortunate enough to be in the ME version of continuum mechanics the last time Naghdi taught it. His notes/book has been converted to PDF in the subsequent years and I have a copy that I believe I downloaded from the internet. I would be happy to post them but am not sure about copyright issues. At the least, I can send a copy to individuals wanting them.

Thanks a lot for pointing out this to me.

In reply to is your lecture note available
Dear Phu,
I have not had time to organize my own lecture notes. The best book that I would recommend for students self study is:
Nonlinear continuum Mechanics for finite element analysis,
by Bonet and Wood, Cambridge University Press. [1997]

Dear Mr. Shaofan Li,
I am looking for a lecture note on continuum mechanics. I am wondering if there exists any good lecture notes on this topic.
Thank you very much

Thank you Ramdas and farhadmir.
I 'll go for Holzapfel, hope is not so advanced..
