Elasticity

Elasticity is a building with a view of the building. It is in the fields of mechanical engineering, civil, aeronautical and materials engineering. Elasticity: Theory, Applications and Numerics 2e provides a framework for the development and implementation of fracture mechanics, anisotropic / composite materials, micromechanics and computational methods. Developed as a text for a one or two semester graduate elasticity course, a new area of non-homogenous, or graded, materal behavior. MEMBAB software.

Key Features:

* Provides a thorough yet concise introduction to general elastic theory and behavior
* Demonstrates numerous applications in areas of contemporary interest, including fracture mechanics, anisotropic / composite and graded materials, micromechanics, and computational methods
* MATLAB in its extensive end-of-chapter exercises
* The book's organization makes it well-suited for one or two semester course in elastics

Features New to the Second Edition:

* The first thing is to create a chapter on non-homogeneous, or graded, material behavior
* New appendix on review of undergraduate mechanics of materials
* 355 end of chapter exercises - 30% NEW to this edition
