This booklet is meant to be an advent to elasticity thought. it really is as­ sumed that the coed, sooner than examining this e-book, has had classes in me­ chanics (statics, dynamics) and energy of fabrics (mechanics of mate­ rials). it really is written at a degree for undergraduate and starting graduate engineering scholars in mechanical, civil, or aerospace engineering. As a historical past in arithmetic, readers are anticipated to have had classes in advert­ vanced calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. Our adventure in educating elasticity thought to engineering scholars leads us to think that the path has to be problem-solving orientated. We think that formula and answer of the issues is on the middle of elasticity thought. 1 after all orientation to problem-solving philosophy doesn't exclude the necessity to learn basics. by means of basics we suggest either mechanical thoughts similar to tension, deformation and pressure, compatibility stipulations, constitu­ tive family members, power of deformation, and mathematical tools, similar to partial differential equations, complicated variable and variational tools, and numerical strategies. we're conscious of many fantastic books on elasticity, a few of that are indexed within the References. If we're to country what differentiates our publication from different comparable texts lets, in addition to the already acknowledged problem-solving ori­ entation, checklist the next: learn of deformations that aren't unavoidably small, collection of difficulties that we deal with, and using Cartesian tensors only.
