Description

This textbook aimed at upper-level undergraduate and graduate engineering students who need to describe the large deformation of elastic materials like soft plastics, rubber, and biological materials.� The classical approaches to finite deformations of elastic materials describe a dozen or more measures of stress and strain.� These classical approaches require an in-depth knowledge of tensor analysis and provide little instruction as to how to relate the derived equations to the materials to be described.� This text, by contrast, introduces only one strain measure and one stress measure.� No tensor analysis is required.� The theory is applied by showing how to measure material properties and to perform computer simulations for both isotropic and anisotropic materials.� The theory can be covered in one chapter for students familiar with Euler-Lagrange techniques, but is also introduced more slowly in several chapters for students not familiar with these techniques.� The connection to linear elasticity is provided along with a comparison of this approach to classical elasticity.Typham this is the title: Engineering Elasticity Elasticity with less Stress and Strain
