"Applied Mechanics of Solids is a powerful tool for understanding how to take advantage of these revolutionary computer advances in the field of solid mechanics. Beginning with a description of the physical and mathematical laws that govern deformation in solids, the text presen…
This reference work offers a method of deriving exact solutions to the biharmonic equation in the context of elasticity problems, and proposes a number of new solutions. Beginning with an in-depth presentation of a general mathematical model, this text proceeds to outline specif…

Although linear elasticity of defects in solids is well established, this textbook introduces the subject in a novel way by comparing key concepts at the atomic scale and at the usual continuum scale, and it explores the relationships between these treatments. There are exercise…
