Synopsis

Presented as a comprehensive guide to elastic stability in large structures, this work brings together theoretical foundations and applied engineering mechanics. Coverage spans two- and three-dimensional stress and strain, before moving into practical treatments including torsion, bending, thermal stress and wave propagation through solids.

Designed to function both as a teaching text and a reference, it sits within the science, mathematics and engineering field.
