Features: This book is a research outcome of the "Reform Plan for Teaching Content and Curriculum System of Higher Education Towards the 21st Century" by the Ministry of Education. It is a textbook for the 21st-century curriculum and the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" teaching material for engineering mechanics in the Ministry of Education. The book has undergone significant changes in structure and substantial updates in content, aiming to organize teaching materials from a modern and practical perspective, opening interfaces to the forefront of the discipline, and making some reforms in teaching methods. The book is divided into 10 chapters, covering fundamental relationships and principles of elasticity as well as some engineering practical problems. The sections marked with an asterisk in Chapters 10 and 6 are written for students of specialized fields with particular needs and are not mandatory reading for general engineering majors. Additionally, the book includes three mathematical appendices for reference. This book can serve as a textbook for 50-60 hours of elasticity courses in engineering-related disciplines at universities and colleges, and can also be referenced by engineering professionals.
