Fundamentals of Engineering: Elasticity
(The two fundamental premises of the original edition have...)
The two fundamental premises of the original edition have been adhered to, namely: To obtain a real understanding of “mechanics of materials” we must go back to the beginnings of the fields i.e the linearized mathematical theory of elasticity; Secondly, the subject of engineering elasticity is a natural one to use in introducing to the undergraduate engineering student the important topic of tensors.
