Product Description
This collection of papers by leading researchers in the field of finite, nonlinear elasticity concerns itself with the behavior of objects that deform when external forces or temperature gradients are applied. This process is extremely important in many industrial settings, such as aerospace and rubber industries. This book covers the various aspects of the subject comprehensively with careful explanations of the basic theories and individual chapters each covering a different research direction. The authors discuss the use of symbolic manipulation software as well as computer algorithm issues. The emphasis is placed firmly on covering modern, recent developments, rather than the very theoretical approach often found. The book will be an excellent reference for both beginners and specialists in engineering, applied mathematics and physics.
Book Description
Here is a collection of invited papers by leading researchers on the important field of finite, nonlinear elasticity. This is concerned with the behaviour of objects deforming under external forces or temperature gradients, and so is extremely important in many industrial settings, for example in the aerospace and rubber industries. The various aspects of the subject are comprehensively covered in the book, with the emphasis placed squarely on modern developments including computing issues such as symbolic manipulation and algorithms. Ideal for a graduate course and as a reference for experts.

Starts great, ends only acceptable November 1, 2003

This is really a hard book, full of advanced jargon and only useful for upper graduate students and experts. Well, actually it's a bad point but this is not a problem about this book, it is about the developing science of nonlinear elasticity. I suppose the only problem of the book is its non-uniformity: it is written by 5 or more writers with different styles, backgrounds and even notations and symbols.
The book starts with a great review by Ogden on principles of nonlinear elasticity, but ends with some paper-like materials which should have been organized in the form of a book.
