Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics
PREFACE
The material presented is intended to serve as a basis for a critical study of the fundamentals
of elasticity and several branches of solid mechanics, including advanced
mechanics of materials, theories of plates and shells, composite materials, plasticity
theory, finite element, and other numerical methods as well as nanomechanics and
biomechanics. In the 21st century, the transcendent and translational technologies
include nanotechnology, microelectronics, information technology, and biotechnology
as well as the enabling and supporting mechanical and civil infrastructure
systems and smart materials. These technologies are the primary drivers of the
century and the new economy in a modern society.
