Elastic Properties of Materials: Tensor Mechanics and Anisotropic Elasticity in Crystals, Glasses and Composites

"Elastic Properties of Materials" combines two core subjects taught at senior and graduate level on materials science and engineering courses - materials properties and elasticity - and delivers them in a comprehensive single volume text on the elastic properties of materials for the first time. Written as a one or two semester text, its coverage of all classes of materials including composites, logical and clear exposition, detailed end of chapter exercises, practical applications and case studies throughout, and supporting online lecture aids, make "Elastic Properties of Materials" a key publication for materials science students and tutors, plus those in related disciplines including mechanical engineering, mechanics, engineering science, aerospace engineering, physics and civil engineering. This is the most comprehensive senior level text on materials elasticity. It supported by Instructor's Manual. It offers downloadable lecture presentation material for adopting tutors.
