Description for Elementary Continuum Mechanics for Everyone
Paperback. Opening with a derivation of kinematically nonlinear 3-D continuum mechanics for solids, this book uses virtual work to derive the simpler, kinematically linear 3-D theory and to offer a foundation for consistent theories of kinematic nonlinearity and linearity. Series: Solid Mechanics and its Applications. Num Pages: 623 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TBJ; TGB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 32. Weight in Grams: 943.
The book opens with a derivation of kinematically nonlinear 3-D continuum mechanics for solids.
Then the principle of virtual work is utilized to derive the simpler, kinematically linear 3-D theory and to provide the foundation for developing consistent theories of kinematic nonlinearity and linearity for specialized continua, such as beams and plates, and finite element methods for these structures.
A formulation in terms of the versatile Budiansky-Hutchinson notation is used as basis for the theories for these structures and structural elements, as well as for an in-depth treatment of structural instability.
