Continuum mechanics lays the foundations for the study of the mechanical behavior of materials. After a review of vector and tensor analysis, the kinematics of continua are introduced. Conservation of mass, balance of momenta and energy are presented with the constitutive models. Applications are given in elasticity theory and fluid dynamics.
