Sommario/riassunto |
|
Although there are several books in print dealing with elasticity, many focus on specialized topics such as mathematical foundations, anisotropic materials, two-dimensional problems, thermoelasticity, non-linear theory, etc. As such they are not appropriate candidates for a general textbook. This book provides a concise and organized presentation and development of general theory of elasticity. Complemented by an online Solutions Manual and companion website, and including MatLab codes and coding, this text is an excellent book teaching guide.- Contains exercises for student engagement |
