Synopsis

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.

• 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

About this title

About the Author

Martin H. Sadd is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Rhode Island. He received his Ph.D. in mechanics from the Illinois Institute of Technology and began his academic career at Mississippi State University. In 1979 he joined the faculty at Rhode Island and served as department chair from 1991 to 2000. Professor Sadd’s teaching background is in the area of solid mechanics with emphasis in elasticity, continuum mechanics, wave propagation, and computational methods. He has taught elasticity at two academic institutions, in several industries, and at a government laboratory. Professor Sadd’s research has been in computational modeling of materials under static and dynamic loading conditions using finite, boundary, and discrete element methods. Much of his work has involved micromechanical modeling of geomaterials including granular soil, rock, and concretes. He has authored more than 75 publications and has given numerous presentations at national and international meetings.
