Elasticityby Martin H. Sadd
Elsevier 2004; US$ 94.95Although there are several books in print dealing with elasticity, many focus on specialized topics such as mathematical foundations, anisotropic materials, two-dimensional problems, thermoelasticity, non-linear theory, etc. As such they are not appropriate candidates for a general textbook. This book provides a concise and organized presentation and development of general theory of elasticity. Complemented by a Solutions Manual and including MatLab codes and coding, this text is an excellent book teaching guide. - Contains exercises for student engagement as well as the integration and use of MATLAB Software - Provides development of common solution methodologies and a systematic review of analytical solutions useful in applications of... more...
Elastoplasticity Theoryby Vlado A. Lubarda
CRC Press 2001; US$ 169.95An advanced treatment of elastoplasticity theory, presented within the framework of finite deformation. It includes an introduction to non-linear continuum mechanics and non-linear elasticity and covers topics such as plastic stability and localization, monocrystalline plasticity, and more. more...
Elasticity and Plasticity of Large Deformationsby Albrecht Bertram
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 109.00This careful and detailed introduction to non-linear continuum mechanics and to elasticity and plasticity, with a unique mathematical foundation, starts right from the basics. It incorporates and provides introductions to tensor calculus and general continuum mechanics. more...
Fundamental Solutions in Elastodynamicsby Eduardo Kausel
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 40.00This work contains fundamental solutions for classical, canonical, problems in elastodynamics using common format and notation. These formulas describe the displacements and stresses elicited by dynamic sources in solid elastic media. The formulas were programmed in MATLAB. The program listings are available for free download on the book web site. more...
Surface Modification And Mechanismsby George E. Fasm Totten
Taylor & Francis 2006; US$ 249.95There are many texts and handbooks available describing tribological processes, effects of additives on lubrication, tribochemistry, surface engineering, and heat treating methodologies involved in surface modification. However, few of these texts provide a thorough integration of surface modification reactions and processes to achieve a tribological result and none provides a physical tribochemical (mechanistic) understanding of surface structural changes that occur under various circumstances. This book was written to address these deficiencies and provide a critically important text for this vitally important technology field. more...
Microstructures in Elastic Mediaby Nhan Phan-Thien; Sangtae Kim
Oxford University Press 1994; US$ 150.00This monograph describes various methods for solving deformation problems of particulate solids, taking the reader from analytical to computational methods. A primary function of the book is the presentation of linear elasticity in a mathematical language familiar to mechanical engineers. more...
Nonlinear Problems of Elasticityby Stuart Antman
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2005; US$ 109.00Presents a study of specific problems of nonlinear elasticity, directed toward the scientist, engineer, and mathematician who wish to see treatments of precisely formulated problems. This book places emphasis on the role of nonlinear material response, and gives a presentation of the mathematical tools from nonlinear analysis. more...
Elasticity of Transversely Isotropic Materialsby Haojiang Ding; Weiqiu Chen; L. Zhang
Springer 2006; US$ 179.00Presents an analysis of problems of transversely isotropic materials that have applications in civil, mechanical, aerospace, materials processing and manufacturing engineering. This work also discusses the coupling effects of inner/outer fluids and surrounding elastic media on the free vibration of cylindrical and spherical shells. more...
Mathematical elasticityby Philippe G. Ciarlet
Elsevier 1997; US$ 181.00The objective of Volume II is to show how asymptotic methods, with the thickness as the small parameter, indeed provide a powerful means of justifying two-dimensional plate theories. More specifically, without any recourse to any a priori assumptions of a geometrical or mechanical nature, it is shown that in the linear case, the three-dimensional displacements, once properly scaled, converge in H 1 towards a limit that satisfies the well-known two-dimensional equations of the linear Kirchhoff-Love theory; the convergence of stress is also established. In the nonlinear case, again after ad hoc scalings have been performed, it is shown that the leading term of a formal asymptotic expansion of the three-dimensional solution satisfies... more...
Mathematical elasticity, 3by Philippe G. Ciarlet
Elsevier 2000; US$ 175.00The objective of Volume III is to lay down the proper mathematical foundations of the two-dimensional theory of shells. To this end, it provides, without any recourse to any a priori assumptions of a geometrical or mechanical nature, a mathematical justification of two-dimensional nonlinear and linear shell theories, by means of asymptotic methods, with the thickness as the "small" parameter. more...
