Nonlinear Problems of Elasticity: I: Strings, Cables, Rods, and Shells

This monograph, the first of the two volumes forming the third edition, is an enlarged, completely updated, and extensively revised version of the corresponding material from the authoritative second edition.

This volume is devoted to the careful formulation and detailed study of illuminating geometrically and mechanically exact problems for nonlinearly elastic and viscoelastic strings, cables, rods, and shells. Special emphasis is placed on the role of nonlinear material response. Global ...
