Theoretical Elasticity

by A. E. Green, W. Zerna

Overview

A valuable research tool in continuum mechanics for more that 50 years, this highly regarded engineering manual focuses on three important aspects of elasticity theory: finite elastic deformations, complex variable methods for two-dimensional problems for both isotropic and aeolotropic bodies, and shell theory. Additional topics include three-dimensional problems for isotropic and transversely isotropic bodies.

Editorial Reviews

This Dover edition is a republicans of the second editoin (1968) of a work first published by The Clarendon Press, Oxford, England, in 1954. Intended for engineers, it covers finite elastic deformations, complex variable methods for two-dimensional problems for both isotropic and aeolotropic bodies, and shell theory. Annotation c.
