Description: This course focuses on the mechanics of linear elastic solids. Topics covered include, but not limited to, (1) Formulation of the elastic problem for isotropic and anisotropic materials, ...

The theory of bending and torsion of thin-walled elastic beams presented in Chap. 2 is now applied to solve the behavior of biaxially loaded beam-columns. This is a generalization of beam-column ...

In a crystalline solid, the atoms form an ordered lattice. Crystalline solids respond elastically to small deformations: When the applied strain is removed, the macroscopic stress, as well as the ...
