Opis

We experience elasticity everywhere in everyday life. This book covers several modern aspects of the established field of elasticity theory, applying general methods of classical analysis including advanced nonlinear aspects to derive detailed solutions to specific problems. It can serve as an introduction to nonlinear methods in science.

Recenzje

A most welcome addition to the literature with a refreshingly new approach, first in that it discusses in depth how the differential geometry of surfaces is connected with the theory of elastic plates and shells, second in that, as a consequence of this perspective, it sheds new light and understanding on practical problems.
