Applied Solid Mechanics

by Gregory Kozyreff, John Ockendon, Peter Howell

Book Overview

The world around us, natural or man-made, is built and held together by solid materials. Understanding their behaviour is the task of solid mechanics, which is in turn applied to many areas, from earthquake mechanics to industry, construction to biomechanics.
