Elasticity: Theory, Applications & Numerics - Martin Sadd [Seduction28]

Elasticity: Theory, Applications and Numerics provides a concise and organized presentation and development of the theory of elasticity, moving from solution methodologies, formulations and strategies into applications of contemporary interest, including fracture mechanics, anisotropic/composite materials, micromechanics and computational methods.

Developed as a text for a one- or two-semester graduate elasticity course, this edition is the only elasticity text to provide coverage in the new area of non-homogenous, or graded, material behavior.

Extensive end-of-chapter exercises throughout the book are fully incorporated with the use of MATLAB 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

* The only current elasticity text to incorporate MATLAB into its extensive end-of-chapter exercises

* The book's organization makes it well-suited for a one or two semester course in elastictiy


Features New to this Edition:

* First elasticity text to offer a chapter on non-homogenous, or graded, material behavior

* New appendix on review of undergraduate mechanics of materials theory to make the text more self-contained

* 355 end of chapter exercises
