Book Reviews of Elasticity: Tensor, Dyadic, and Engineering Approaches (Dover Books on Engineering)
Book Review: good review, good intro from another field
Summary: 5 Stars
This book concisely goes through the derivations of elasticity; it is well written and relatively easy to read for a textbook. The numerous tables and flowcharts make this book a very good quick look up reference.
As I am coming at elasticity from another background, I found that a quick review of this book allows me to read and understand papers in this field much more clearly.
The "rosetta stone" table for tensor and vector/dyadic notation of common operators in one of the later chapters is quite useful. I don't think I have seen that spelled out anywhere else. Most books just use one convention or the other.
Another two good backgound chapters are the summary of the introduction of Jeffreys Cartesian Tensors book and a chapter summarizing formulas from general curvilinear coordinates.
Summary of Elasticity: Tensor, Dyadic, and Engineering Approaches (Dover Books on Engineering)
