Book Synopsis Introduction to Linear Elasticity by : Phillip L. Gould
Download or read book Introduction to Linear Elasticity written by Phillip L. Gould. This book was released on 1993-12-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This applications-oriented introduction fills an important gap in the field of solid mechanics. Offering a thorough grounding in the tensor-based theory of elasticity for courses in mechanical, civil, materials or aeronautical engineering, it allows students to apply the basic notions of mechanics to such important topics as stress analysis. Further, they will also acquire the necessary background for more advanced work in elasticity, plasticity, shell theory, composite materials and finite element mechanics. This second edition features new chapters on the bending of thin plates, time-dependent effects, and strength and failure criteria.
