Applied Mathematical Sciences Nonlinear Problems of Elasticity, Book 107, (Hardcover)

Within the past few decades, there has been an accelerating development of methods for studying nonlinear equations. Nonlinear analysis offers exciting prospects for certain specific areas of nonlinear problems with continuum mechanics. The objective of this book is to carry out such studies for problems in nonlinear elasticity. This second edition is an enlarged, completely updated, and extensively revised version of the authoritative first edition. It is directed toward the scientist, engineer, and mathematician who wish to see careful treatments of precisely formulated problems. Each chapter contains a wealth of interesting, challenging, and tractable exercises.
