This book has been written with two purposes, as a textbook for
engineering courses and as a reference book for engineers and
scientists. The book is an outcome of several lecture courses.
These include lectures given to graduate students at the Asian
Institute of Technology for several years, a course on elasticity
for University of Tokyo graduate students in the spring of 1979,
and courses on elasticity, viscoelasticity and ftnite deformation
at the National University of Singapore from May to November 1985.
In preparing this book, I kept three objectives in mind: ftrst, to
provide sound fundamental knowledge of solid mechanics in the
simplest language possible; second, to introduce effective
analytical and numerical solution methods; and third, to impress on
readers that the subject is beautiful, and is accessible to those
with only a standard mathematical background. In order to meet
those objectives, the ftrst chapter of the book is a review of
mathematical foundations intended for anyone whose background is an
elementary knowledge of differential calculus, scalars and vectors,
and Newton's laws of motion. Cartesian tensors are introduced
carefully. From then on, only Cartesian tensors in the indicial
notation, with subscript as indices, are used to derive and
represent all theories.
