Description
Elasticity is concerned with determining the strength and load carrying ability of engineering structures including buildings, bridges,
cars, planes, and thousands of machine parts that most of us never see. It is especially important in the fields of mechanical, civil,
aeronautical and materials engineering. Elasticity: Theory, Applications and Numerics 2e provides a concise and organized presentation
and development of the theory of elasticity, moving from solution methodologies, formulations and strategies into applications of contemporary
interest, including fracture mechanics, anisotropic/composite materials, micromechanics and computational methods. Developed as a text
for a one or two-semester graduate elasticity course, this new edition is the only elasticity text to provide coverage in the new area
of non-homogenous, or graded, materal behavior. End of chapter exercises throughout the book are fully incorporated with the use of MATLAB
software.
Audience
Graduate students in Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace and Materials Engineering; R&D engineers in structural and mechanical design
