Features: This book is one of the series textbooks for postgraduate students in civil engineering, and it is an English edition. Elasticity and plasticity are two important fundamental theories in solid mechanics. This book Part One discusses the theory of elasticity, and Part Two discusses the theory of plasticity. Vector and tensor analysis are important teaching tools for elasticity and plasticity. The index notation and operation methods of vectors and tensors are first elaborated in Chapter One. Chapters Two to Four discuss the basic concepts and theories of elasticity, while Chapters Five to Seven discuss the basic concepts and theories of plasticity. Chapter Eight is about the theory of metal plasticity, and Chapter Nine briefly introduces the finite element method for solving elastic and elastoplastic problems.
[Target Audience] This book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in majors such as mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace, transportation, and materials. It can also serve as a reference book for engineers to improve and conduct research.
