Schaum's Outline of Continuum Mechanics

This is a good source for supplemental problems and alternate explanations of some of the basic results and concepts in continuum mechanics. I typically recommend it to my students. Information/$ ratio is very high.

This is a great book to support all the information you can get in a single continuum mechanics class. It could be nice if it has a more detailed treatment of the mohr's circle because of his power in 2D and an approach to the analysis of shells and plates. Best regards and enjoy it!

Better than most professors, but concepts are still difficult to grasp. Have you ever had one of those tennis ball machines go crazy at you? That is how continuum mechanics is, you constantly have things hurled in your direction and you don't know how to stop them. The concepts are very difficult to understand since I'm sure many professors have a hard time understanding the course material itself. The Schaum's outline helps very much in the sense that it slows down the hurling of material and it explains where many equations are derived from. This book stands out above the rest of continuum mechanics books in the sense that it offers solved problems, which is rare for such a theoretical class.

Not really a very good book on continuum mechanics. However, itdoes summarise some very important points and equations usefulfor quick reference. The exercise is not so great.

The problems in this book where very helpful to me in my applied continuum mechanics course, but they tended more towards the theoretical side. A good purchase for students and researchers dealing with solid mechanics and mechanics of materials.
