Ebook: Functional Analysis in Mechanics

This book covers functional analysis and its applications to continuum mechanics. The mathematical material is treated in a non-abstract manner and is fully illuminated by the underlying mechanical ideas. The presentation is concise but complete, and is intended for specialists in continuum mechanics who wish to understand the mathematical underpinnings of the discipline. Graduate students and researchers in mathematics, physics, and engineering will find this book useful. Exercises and examples are included throughout with detailed solutions provided in the appendix.
