Mathematical Foundations of Elasticity

by Thomas J.R. Hughes and Jerrold E. Marsden

Book Overview

This advanced-level study approaches mathematical foundations of three-dimensional elasticity using modern differential geometry and functional analysis. It is directed to mathematicians, engineers and physicists who wish to see this classical subject in a modern setting with examples of newer mathematical contributions. Prerequisites include a solid background in advanced calculus and the basics of geometry and functional analysis. The first two...
