Although designed primarily as a textbook for courses in the theory of elasticity, this can also be used as a reference by professional engineers. Discussing plane problems first, the book goes on to discuss the spatial problems in plates and shells, proceeding gradually from basic to complex materials. The mathematical derivations are concise and explicit, enabling the reader to grasp quickly the essence of the contents. Concentrating on problem-solving approaches, the book deals with the nature of elasticity and its ...
