This book introduces the subject of hyperelasticity in a concise manner mainly directed to students of solid mechanics who have a familiarity with�continuum mechanics.� It focuses on important introductory topics in the field of nonlinear material behavior and�presents a number of example problems and solutions to greatly aid the student in mastering the difficulty of the subject and gaining necessary insight.��Professor Hackett delineates the concepts and applications of hyperelasticity in such a way that a new student of the subject can absorb the intricate details without having to wade through excessively complicated formulations.� The book further presents significant review material on intricately related subjects such as tensor calculus and introduces some new formulations.
