Theory of Elasticity and Plasticity
This comprehensive textbook provides a rigorous and systematic exploration of solid body mechanics, specifically focusing on the fundamental principles of elasticity and plasticity. The authors present a structured analytical framework to evaluate the thermo-mechanical behavior and structural stability of materials under various loading conditions. Key topics include the analysis of stress-strain relationships, generalized Hooke's law, and the formulation of constitutive models for both elastic and non-elastic materials. Unlike traditional texts, this work bridges the gap between classical theories and modern research, offering practical solutions for complex engineering problems such as rock mass stability and pile foundation design. It is an essential resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers and design engineers seeking to understand the mechanics of deformable solids.
