Inhaltsangabe

This book emphasizes engineering applications of elasticity. This is a first-year graduate textbook in linear elasticity. It is written with the practical engineering reader in mind, dependence on previous knowledge of solid mechanics, continuum mechanics or mathematics being minimized. Examples are generally worked through to final expressions for the stress and displacement fields in order to explore the engineering consequences of the results. This 4th edition presents new and revised material, notably on the Eshelby inclusion problem and anisotropic elasticity.

The topics covered are chosen with a view to modern research applications in fracture mechanics, composite materials, tribology and numerical methods. Thus, significant attention is given to crack and contact problems, problems involving interfaces between dissimilar media, thermoelasticity, singular asymptotic stress fields and three-dimensional problems.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

J. R. Barber graduated in Mechanical Sciences from Cambridge University in 1963 and joined British Rail, who later sponsored his research at Cambridge between 1965 and 1968 on the subject of thermal effects in braking systems. In 1969 he became Lecturer and later Reader in Solid Mechanics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. In 1981 he moved to the University of Michigan, where he is presently Jon R. and Beverly S. Holt Professor of Engineering and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics. He is a Chartered Engineer in the U.K., Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and has engaged extensively in consulting work in the field of stress analysis for engineering design.

He is author of three books (‘Elasticity’, ‘Intermediate Mechanics of Materials’ and ‘Contact Mechanics’) and over 200 articles in the fields of Elasticity, Thermoelasticity, Contact Mechanics, Tribology, Heat Conduction and Elastodynamics. He is a recipient of the Drucker Medal, the Ted Belytschko Applied Mechanics Award and the Mayo D. Hersey Award of ASME and the Archie Higdon Distinguished Educator Award of ASEE. He has served as Associate Editor of the ASME Journal of Applied Mechanics, Mathematical Problems in Engineering, and ASME Journal of Tribology, and is co-Editor of the Springer book series Solid Mechanics and its Applications, and a member of the editorial boards of the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, the Journal of Thermal Stresses and Acta Tribologica.
