Description for Elasticity
Paperback. A graduate textbook, based on a one-semester course taught by the author. Placing emphasis on engineering applications, it pays special attention to crack and contact problems, interfaces between dissimilar media, thermoelasticity, singular asymptotic stress fields and three-dimensional problems. Series: Solid Mechanics and its Applications. Num Pages: 316 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TGMD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 17. Weight in Grams: 456.
The subject of Elasticity can be approached from several points of view, depending on whether the practitioner is principally interested in the mathematicalstructure of the subject or in its use in engineering applications and in the latter case, whether essentially numerical or analytical methods are envisaged as the solution method. My first introduction to the subject was in response to a need for information about a specific problem in Tribology. As a practising engineer with a background only in elementary Strength of Materials, I approached that problem initially using the con cepts of concentrated forces and superposition. Today, with a ... Read more

Reviews for Elasticity
'...this book is a very good addition to the available literature on elasticity and can be used as a textbook for the first year graduate course on linear elasticity.' Applied Mechanics Reviews, 45:12 (1992)
