This book explores the foundation of continuum mechanics and constitutive theories of materials using understandable notations. Written using clear language to explore this mathematically demanding area of mechanical engineering, the book provides a thorough guide to continuum mechanics.

This unique textbook focuses on building a theoretical foundation for understanding and applying numerical methods in engineering. Readers will learn to structure sequences of operations into programs in any language; this approach builds a deep understanding of the methods and how best to apply them, backed by numerous examples and problems.

Unlike most finite element books that cover time dependent processes (IVPs) in a cursory manner, The Finite Element Method for Initial Value Problems: Mathematics and Computations focuses on the mathematical details as well as applications of space-time coupled and space-time decoupled finite element methods for IVPs.
