Features: Elasticity and plasticity are two important fundamental theories in solid mechanics. This book first part introduces the theory of elasticity, and the second part introduces the theory of plasticity. Vector and tensor analysis are important mathematical tools for elasticity and plasticity. The index notation and operational methods of vectors and tensors are first explained in the first chapter. Chapters 2 to 4 discuss the basic concepts and theories of elasticity, while Chapters 5 to 7 discuss the basic concepts and theories of plasticity. Chapter 8 is about the plastic theory of metals, and Chapter 9 briefly introduces the finite element method for solving elastic and elastoplastic problems. This book is one of the graduate series textbooks for civil engineering, and it was also written to meet the needs of "bilingual teaching" in universities. [Target Audience] This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate teaching in mechanical, civil, aerospace, transportation, materials, and other disciplines. It can also serve as a reference book for engineers to improve and conduct research. [Table of Contents] Symbol Table.
