Beschreibung:
This book provides a mathematically elegant formulation of both differential equation and integral formulations of boundary value problems on the basis of isotropic linear theory of elasticity and theories of mechanics of materials. The author develops a methodology for the analysis of stress, deformation, and stability of various structural elements using both the linear theory of elasticity and the theory of mechanics of materials and comparing the results obtained from each. His well-balanced coverage and choice of topics, clear and direct presentation, and emphasis on the integration of sophisticated mathematics with practical examples make this an unparalleled guide and reference.
