Note publique d'information : This book emphasizes engineering applications of elasticity. This is a first-year
graduate textbook in linear elasticity. It is written with the practical engineering
reader in mind, dependence on previous knowledge of solid mechanics, continuum mechanics
or mathematics being minimized. Examples are generally worked through to final expressions
for the stress and displacement fields in order to explore the engineering consequences
of the results. This 4th edition presents new and revised material, notably on the
Eshelby inclusion problem and anisotropic elasticity. The topics covered are chosen
with a view to modern research applications in fracture mechanics, composite materials,
tribology and numerical methods. Thus, significant attention is given to crack and
contact problems, problems involving interfaces between dissimilar media, thermoelasticity,
singular asymptotic stress fields and three-dimensional problems.
