Brief primer on elasticity

By Lance C. Hibbeler - February 7, 2011

This is a pretty good primer to the theory of elasticity. Mind you, this is elasticity and not strength of materials, so get ready for some vector/tensor calculus and differential equations. Topics include basic kinematics and dynamics, finite and infinitesimal deformation theories, and then solving problems concerning the basic deformation modes (extension, torsion, bending). Atkin and Fox do a remarkable job of distilling down the very basic concepts, and then making a fairly lucid presentation. Some of the development includes some interesting proofs that I haven't seen in other continuum mechanics books. The emphasis is on analytically solving problems (as opposed to numerically), and, as appropriate for the introductory level, only cursorily discusses existence and uniqueness of solutions. I think the power of this book is how well they tie the solution process back to the boundary-value problem as we understand it- governing equations, boundary conditions, constitutive... read more

Elasticity Theory Clear and Concise

By Henri Simon Zivi - February 17, 2007

Exellent elementary introduction to the theory of elasticity. Clear and concise exposition of the basic principles, with many valuable applications and exercises. Requires only basic knowledge in physics, calculus incl. vector analysis and linear algebra. Good starting point for more advanced treatments of the subject.

A good Introduction

By Truth Seeker "Eve" - July 13, 2006

I read the first three chapters because I am only interested in finite strains. It is very well written and easy to follow but some concepts need more elaboration such as the 2nd PK stress, or for example there is no mention of Green-Lagrange strain. So it's a good introduction but doesn't go into a lot of detail as you can tell from the volume of the book.
