A concise introduction to theory and technical applications of elasticity is presented in this text. Fundamentals covered include stress, strain, stress-strain relations, applications to three- and
two-dimensional problems, structural mechanics, and stability theory. Cartesian tensor notations and computer-oriented methods are included. Exercises are given throughout the text and SI units are used. This text is
suitable for a variety of engineering curricula, such as civil, mechanical or aeronautical engineering, or engineering science. It can also be used by students of the physical and mathematical sciences, such as geology
or applied mathematics, who wish to extend their education. |
