Undergraduate text opens with introductory chapters on matrix algebra, vectors and Cartesian tensors, and an analysis of deformation and stress; succeeding chapters examine laws of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy as well as the formulation of mechanical constitutive equations. 1992 edition.

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.

Proceedings of the fifth international symposium, with the main topic of Continuum Models of Discrete Systems held in Nottingham, between the 14-20 July 1985.
