From the Publisher:
Rigorous without being overly mathematical, this complete and modern treatment of the fundamentals of elasticity recognizes the widespread use of approximate (numerical) methods in elasticity, but emphasizes the importance of basic concepts and theories of elasticity as being fundamental to the understanding and interpretation of numerical analysis. Presents in detail the theories of deformation, stress, stress-strain relations, and fundamental boundary value problems of elasticity.
