Main Aim of the Book

The main aim of this book is to demonstrate the fundamental theory of advanced solid mechanics through simplified derivations with detailed illustrations to deliver the principal concepts.

Coverage

It covers all conceptual principles on two- and three-dimensional stresses, strains, stress-strain relations, theory of elasticity, and theory of plasticity in any type of solid materials including anisotropic, orthotropic, homogeneous, and isotropic.

Features

Detailed explanation and clear diagrams and drawings are accompanied with the use of proper jargons and notations to present the ideas and appropriately guide the readers to explore the core of advanced solid mechanics backed by case studies and examples.

Intended Audience

Aimed at undergraduate, senior undergraduate students in advanced solid mechanics, solid mechanics, strength of materials, civil/mechanical engineering, this book provides simplified explanations and detailed derivations of correlations and formulas implemented in advanced solid mechanics.

Key Topics

It covers the state of two and three-dimensional stresses and strains in solid materials under various conditions, describes principal constitutive models for different types of materials including anisotropic, orthotropic, homogeneous, and isotropic materials, includes stress-strain relations and theory of elasticity for solid materials, and explores inelastic behavior, theory of plasticity, and yielding criteria.
