Cartesian Tensors and the Equations of Solid Mechanics - Hardcover
Synopsis
Cartesian Tensors and the Equations of Solid Mechanics introduces the mechanics of solids at an intermediate level using Cartesian tensors with an emphasis on the physical significance and understanding behind the tensor formalism. Included in the book is a brief introduction to general tensors, anisotropy, some elementary concepts revisited, and a short early history of the mechanics of solids.
