"...The book is clearly laid out, well illustrated and the quality of reproduction is excellent...highly recommended..." (Materials World, September 2002)

Eine systematische, moderne Behandlung der Festkörpermechanik, motiviert durch alltägliche technische Anwendungen! Der Autor nimmt auch zu Themen Stellung, die in Einführungslehrbüchern der Festkörpermechanik oft ausgespart werden, z. B.l zur Phänomenologie des Verhaltens von Werkstoffen. Alle theoretischen Konzepte wurden anhand gut verständlicher Beispiele für die Praxis aufbereitet. Mit zahlreichen Rechenaufgaben, die für das MATLAB-Paket konzipiert sind.
