Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Applied Elasticity / Edition 1

by Anthony E. Armenàkas

Overview

This book presents both differential equation and integral formulations of boundary value problems for computing the stress and displacement fields of solid bodies at two levels of approximation - isotropic linear theory of elasticity as well as theories of mechanics of materials. Moreover, the book applies these formulations to practical solutions in detailed, easy-to-follow examples.

Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Applied Elasticity presents modern and classical methods of analysis in current notation and in the context of current practices. The author's well-balanced choice of topics, clear and direct presentation, and emphasis on the integration of sophisticated mathematics with practical examples offer students in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering an unparalleled guide and reference for courses in advanced mechanics of materials, stress analysis, elasticity, and energy methods in structural analysis.

Editorial Reviews

"The author successfully presents the transition of applied elasticity from the eighteenth century to the twenty first century; from Mohr circle to finite elements. The material is well organized, well written, and well presented."
-J. Genin in Zentralblatt MATH 1089
