These problems are formulated over either a half or the whole of a linearly elastic and isotropic two- or three-dimensional space, subject to loads concentrated at points or lines. The discussion of each problem begins with a careful examination of the prevailing symmetries, and proceeds with inverting the canonical order, in that it moves from a search for balanced stress fields to the associated strain and displacement fields. The book, although slim, is  fairly well self-contained; the only prerequisite is a reasonable familiarity with linear algebra (in particular, manipulation of vectors and tensors) and with the usual differential operators of mathematical physics (gradient, divergence, curl, and Laplacian); the few nonstandard notions are introduced with care. Support material for all parts of the book is found in the final Appendix.Solid mechanics and its applications ;volume 204.ElasticityElasticityMathematical modelsElasticity.ElasticityMathematical models.531.382Podio-Guidugli Paoloauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut54096Favata A(Antonino),MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910299491903321Elasticity for Geotechnicians1971428UNINA
