Topics in Finite Elasticity (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics)
Topics in Finite Elasticity - CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics Author:Morton E. Gurtin Finite elasticity is a theory of elastic materials that are capable of undergoing large deformations. This theory is inherently nonlinear and is mathematically quite complex. This monograph presents a derivation of the basic equations of the theory, a discussion of the general boundary-value problems, and a treatment of several interesting and i... more »mportant special topics such as simple shear, uniqueness, the tensile deformations of a cube, and antiplane shear. The monograph is intended for engineers, physicists, and mathematicians.« less
