The fundamental concepts of Theory of Elasticity have been widely used at various stages in the study of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, geomechanics and material engineering. The basic concepts are used in their simpler form for initial analysis before preliminary design of engineering structures and the advanced principles are used for complex analysis before final design. Many of the graduate and postgraduate courses employ the concepts of elasticity as the basis for further development of engineering principles. Therefore, it is necessary as a first step to understand clearly the basic principles and corresponding mathematical expressions involved in theory of elasticity. Since the solutions to most of the engineering problems are obtained by solving the governing equations, it is imperative that one should learn the origin of such equations and the basis on which they have been derived. For this reason, attention has been given in this book to present the derivations of various fundamental equations in an extensive manner.Key Features* Explains the complex theory, in a very lucid way, to enable an average student to understand the basic principles.* Key concepts to help the instructor to deliver the lecture in a better way.* Large number of worked examples.* Objective type questions to test the students' understanding of the subject.* Chapter end review questions to enhance problem solving ability.
