Features: This book is one of the series textbooks for postgraduate students in civil engineering, and it is an English version. Elasticity and plasticity are two important fundamental theories in solid mechanics. This book Part I discusses the theory of elasticity, and Part II discusses the theory of plasticity. Vector and tensor analysis are important teaching tools for elasticity and plasticity. The index notation and operational methods of vectors and tensors are first explained in Chapter 1. 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.
