An Introduction to Solid Mechanics


Overview

Solid Mechanics, as compared to Mechanics of Materials or Strength of Materials, is generally considered to be a higher-level course. It is usually taught in higher semesters to senior undergraduate students. However, there is no suitable textbook on this subject. The book is primarily aimed at this group of students and the text is an attempt to bridge the gap between complex formulations in the theory of elasticity and elementary strength of materials in a simplified manner. The book is intended to present the basics of Solid Mechanics in a simple and concise manner to the initial learners. A large number of solved problems on each topic have been included to illustrate the text materials. Because of the simpler approach adopted in solving difficult problems, the book will be useful for all student groups who wish to learn the basic solid mechanics without much difficulty.
