Description
This volume is an introduction to basic continuum mechanics that emphasizes variational formulations and numeric computation. This provides the prerequisite information for finite elements for graduate and advances undergraduate students in civil and mechanical engineering - a required course for all mechanical and civil engineering students. TOC:Vectors and Tensors.- The Geometry of Deformation.- The Transmission of Force.- Elastic Constitutive Theory.- Boundary Value Problem in Elasticity.- The Ritz Method of Approximation.- The Linear Theory of Beams.- The Linear Theory of Plates.- Energy Principle and Static Stability.- Fundamental Concepts in Static Stability.- The Planar Buckling of Beams.- Numerical Computation for Nonlinear Problems.
