Prof. Itskov studied Automobile Engineering at the Moscow State Automobile and Road Technical University, Russia. In 1990 he received his doctoral degree in mechanics, and in 2002 he obtained his habilitation degree in mechanics from the University of Bayreuth, Germany. Since 2004 he has been full professor for continuum mechanics at the RWTH Aachen University, Germany. His research interests comprise tensor analysis, non-linear continuum mechanics, in particular the application to anisotropic materials, as well as the mechanics of elastomers and soft tissues in a broad sense.
From the reviews:
"Most books on continuum mechanics begin with a more or less lengthy introduction into this mere mathematical topic. ... With the present introduction to tensors, Itskov has filled this gap. ... It is written in a clear and modern style ... . contains a lot of interesting representations, which will be appreciated by researchers in the field. ... All in all, the book can be clearly recommended both for students and researchers in the field of continuum mechanics." (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 28 (3), 2008)
