This textbook presents a concise and comprehensive treatment of the theory of elasticity. It covers both the linear and nonlinear aspects of the theory, including both statics and dynamics. Written to be accessible to the graduate student reader, this text promotes approachability by minimizing the use of complex mathematical tools, and instead emphasizing the formulation of the initial boundary value problems. This approach makes it an ideal resource for students as well as instructors seeking a textbook designed for a one-semester graduate course in elasticity.
Divided into ten chapters, the book begins with a brief review of the mechanics of materials. The theory of Cartesian tensors is then introduced, which serves as a mathematical preparation for the concise treatment of the nonlinear theory of elasticity that follows. The theory of linear elasticity is covered next with the remainder of the book then focusing on problem solving in linear elasticity. These chapters cover topics such as antiplane problems, plane-stress and plane-strain problems, and elastodynamics. Five appendices appear at the end, which include basic equations of elasticity in cylindrical, polar, and spherical coordinates, as well as a collection of vector identities that appear throughout the book.
A Concise Course in Elasticity is an ideal textbook for a one-semester graduate course on elasticity. Graduate students interested in this topic will appreciate the author’s accessible approach. Instructors will find the comprehensive coverage uniquely suited to providing an overview of the area. Readers are assumed to have some experience at the undergraduate level of the mechanics of materials.

About the Author
Jiashi Yang is a Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering of University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 1982 and 1985, respectively, and his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1994. Then he did postdoctoral research at University of Missouri-Rolla and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He worked as an engineer with Motorola, Inc. prior to joining University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1997. His research area is the mechanics of electromagnetoelastic structures and devices. He has coauthored over 400 papers in refereed journals. His previous books include “Mechanics of Piezoelectric Structures”, “Mechanics of Functional Materials” and “Theory of Electromagnetoelasticity” with World Scientific, as well as “An Introduction to the Theory of Piezoelectricity” and “Analysis of Piezoelectric Semiconductor Structures” with Springer.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Books Puddle, New York, New York, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
