This treatise portrays the ideas and general principles of the theory of materials within the framework of continuum mechanics. It is a well-written mathematical introduction to classical continuum mechanics and deals with concepts such as elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity and viscoplasticity in nonlinear materials. The aim of a general theory of material behavior is to provide a classified range of possibilities from which a user can select the constitutive model that applies best.
