Features: This book (1st edition) has been approved by the Teaching Guidance Committee of Engineering Mechanics for Higher Industrial Schools under the Ministry of Education and recommended as a teaching material for the Engineering Mechanics program. It won the Second Prize of the National Excellent Teaching Material Award in 1995. The 2nd edition is published in two volumes, with comprehensive revisions, adjustments, deletions, and additions to the 1st edition. The book uses Cartesian tensor as a tool to systematically elaborate the fundamental principles and methods of classical elasticity and reflects the latest research results in elasticity. It explains the thinking process and techniques, and provides exercises for practice. The appendix covers necessary mathematical prerequisites such as tensor analysis. The main content of the first volume includes: stress theory, strain theory, constitutive relations, the differential formulation and general principles of elastic theory, plane problems and the torsion of cylindrical rods, and an appendix on tensor analysis. The main content of the second volume includes: complex function solutions, spatial problems, energy principles, plate bending, thermal stress, elastic waves, and two appendices on analytic functions and variational methods. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students and postgraduate students in the field of Engineering Mechanics, as well as a reference for scientific and technical personnel engaged in strength calculations and research.
