Features: This book is a key textbook for the "Nine-Five" national education program in general higher education, primarily intended for use as a teaching material in engineering mechanics programs at universities. The book consists of 14 chapters and two supplementary materials, arranged in the following order: stress and strain analysis, stress-strain relationships, general principles of elasticity, solutions to plane problems, solutions to three-dimensional problems, thermal stress, propagation of elastic waves, bending of elastic thin plates, and variational methods in elasticity. It includes both classical content and several recent developments in the field. In terms of content selection and presentation, while fully considering the systematicity, completeness, and rigor of the theory, it places greater emphasis on clarity, highlighting key points, breaking down difficulties, connecting with engineering practice, and emphasizing the physical essence of problems to facilitate student understanding and mastery. The two appendices cover: concise Cartesian tensor and the curvilinear coordinate form of the fundamental equations of elasticity.
This book can also serve as a textbook or teaching reference for postgraduate students in engineering and related undergraduate majors, as well as for researchers and engineering professionals. The book comprises 14 chapters and two supplementary materials, arranged in the following order: stress, stress-strain relationships, general principles of elasticity, solutions to plane problems, solutions to three-dimensional problems, thermal stress, propagation of elastic waves, bending of elastic thin plates, and variational methods in elasticity.
