Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
-
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
-
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
-
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
-
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.
-
Content provides explanations for unusual words, abbreviations, acronyms, idioms, jargon in an accessible form, such as glossaries, scripted pop-ups.
Product Content
-
Content includes any type of illustrations.
-
The primary content is text.
-
Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) web links to external content, downloadable resources, supplementary material, etc.
-
Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) cross-references, hyperlinked notes and annotations, or with other actionable links between largely textual elements (e.g., quiz/test questions, ‘choose your own ending’, etc.).
-
Content includes figures, diagrams, charts and/or graphs, including other ‘mechanical’ (i.e. non-photographic) illustrations.
-
Content includes a significant number of web links (printed URLs, QR codes etc.).
-
Content includes mathematical notations, formulae.

Elasticity: Theory, Applications, and Numerics, Fifth Edition continues its market-leading tradition of concisely presenting and developing the linear theory of elasticity, moving from solution methodologies, formulations, and strategies into applications of contemporary interest, such as fracture mechanics, anisotropic and composite materials, micromechanics, nonhomogeneous graded materials, and computational methods.
Developed for a one- or two-semester graduate elasticity course, this new edition has been revised with new worked examples, exercises, and new or expanded coverage in recent areas of interest. Using MATLAB® software, numerical activities in the text are integrated with analytical problem solutions, and new symbolic software has now been introduced.
Key Features
- Includes a thorough yet concise introduction to linear elasticity theory and applications
- Presents detailed solutions to problems of nonhomogeneous/graded materials
- Features a comparison of elasticity solutions with elementary theory, experimental data, and numerical simulations
- Provides hands-on practice with additional MATLAB® programming resources for students, at https://www.elsevier.com/books-and-journals/book-companion/9780443132452
- Offers teaching support, including a full solutions manual, and lecture slides, available for request by qualified instructors at https://educate.elsevier.com/9780443132452
