The authors give a unified treatment of nonlinear solid mechanics, dynamic conservation laws, and the associated finite element techniques, alongside exercises, examples, and working code, to provide a self-contained introduction to the dynamic simulation of nonlinear solids suitable for beginning masters and PhD students.
