Theory of Elasticity for Engineers

Theory of Elasticity for Engineers is a textbook covering the fundamental theory of elasticity and its applications in engineering.

It is pedagogically ordered and begins with the general theory of elasticity, then discusses the linearization and solution, and finally introduces the finite element method. This book offers a good balance of theoretical rigidity, mathematical soundness and engineering thinking with detailed derivations and results, written with absolute tensor notation, several coordinate representations as well as in matrix notation. Many exercise problems are also included.

Theory of Elasticity for Engineers is an ideal textbook for graduate courses on applied mechanics and computational methods and is also useful background reading for researchers and practitioners in engineering industry.
