This book is intended to be an introduction to elasticity theory.
It is as sumed that the student, before reading this book, has had
courses in me chanics (statics, dynamics) and strength of materials
(mechanics of mate rials). It is written at a level for
undergraduate and beginning graduate engineering students in
mechanical, civil, or aerospace engineering. As a background in
mathematics, readers are expected to have had courses in ad vanced
calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. Our
experience in teaching elasticity theory to engineering students
leads us to believe that the course must be problem-solving
oriented. We believe that formulation and solution of the problems
is at the heart of elasticity theory. 1 Of course orientation to
problem-solving philosophy does not exclude the need to study
fundamentals. By fundamentals we mean both mechanical concepts such
as stress, deformation and strain, compatibility conditions,
constitu tive relations, energy of deformation, and mathematical
methods, such as partial differential equations, complex variable
and variational methods, and numerical techniques. We are aware of
many excellent books on elasticity, some of which are listed in the
References. If we are to state what differentiates our book from
other similar texts we could, besides the already stated
problem-solving ori entation, list the following: study of
deformations that are not necessarily small, selection of problems
that we treat, and the use of Cartesian tensors only."
