Opis

This book is intended for researchers, engineers and students in solid mechanics, materials science and physics who are interested in using the power of modern computing to solve a wide variety of problems of both practical and fundamental significance in elasticity. Extensive use of Mathematica in the book makes available to the reader a range of recipes that can be readily adjusted to match particular tastes or requirements, to visualize solutions, and to carry out symbolic and numerical analysis and optimization.

Recenzje

Review of the hardback: '… a useful book for anybody interested in problems in elasticity … provides a refreshing alternative to throwing every problem into a finite element solver. It would be an excellent textbook for a graduate course in elasticity.' Contemporary Physics
