Mechanics of Deformable Bodies: Lectures on Theoretical Physics, Volume II covers topics on the mechanics of deformable bodies. The book discusses the kinematics, statics, and dynamics of deformable bodies; the vortex theory; as well as the theory of waves. The test also describes flow with given boundaries. Supplementary notes on selected hydrodynamic problems, as well as supplements to the theory of elasticity are also provided. Physicists, mathematicians, and students taking related courses will find the book invaluable.
