From the reviews:

„The book provides a clear overview over the basic formulations in modern continuum- and contact mechanics needed do derive numerical simulation tools and discretization methods. … The extensive list of references with over 500 citations provides a good starting point for more in depth studies of certain topics. … Due to that the book can be recommended as a good and solid work for master and PhD students as well as for engineers in practice with interest in theoretical background.“ (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 25 (2), 2005)
