This graduate-level text describes the mathematical methods used in solving problems related to plane problems of elasticity, illustrates the connections between common boundary problems, and offers a series of worked problems that illustrate the techniques of complex function theory. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1971.

The pioneering and wide-ranging research of A. E. Green--one of the outstanding British researchers in theoretical and applied mechanics--is the subject of this important new volume. Featuring sixteen up-to-date research papers written by his eminent colleagues and friends, the book covers a variety of topics from thermodynamics to problems associated with crystals; linear, nonlinear and fibre-reinforced elastic materials; and viscoplastic and granular materials. Perfect for students and researchers alike, Nonlinear Elasticity and Theoretical Mechanics is a superb tribute to the work of one of England's great scientists.
