L. Anand, E.M. Stewart, and S. A. Chester. Introduction to Coupled Theories in Solid Mechanics. Oxford University Press, 2026.
[OUP Website] | [Amazon]
First text which presents readers with depth and breadth on foundational coupled-physics theories.
Provides complete details for the formulation of each theory, arming readers with the tools to understand and formulate a broad range of theories.
Includes extensive example simulations to bring the theories to life for readers, improving their understanding of key concepts.
Source codes for all example simulations can be found on the book's companion website:
