Features: Engineering Elastic Mechanics This book is written based on the author's decades of teaching experience in elastic mechanics for engineering students, as well as incorporating the latest research and engineering application data from both domestic and international sources. The book is divided into 12 chapters, covering topics such as: the formulation of elastic mechanics problems, analytical methods for plane and spatial problems, bending problems of elastic thin plates, variational methods, the finite element method (including plane problems, spatial problems, and thin plate bending problems), the finite difference method, the weighted residual method, and the boundary element method. The book's features include an in-depth yet accessible and concise presentation of classical theories; emphasis on physical significance and engineering context; and a well-structured content that is suitable for both multi-credit and fewer-credit teaching. Compared to similar textbooks, this book also stands out for its focus on introducing various numerical methods with widespread practical applications in recent years, making it highly practical. The book is primarily intended as a textbook for engineering mechanics, civil engineering, mechanical manufacturing, and related fields, and can also serve as a reference for researchers and engineering professionals in these disciplines.
