Elasticity with Mathematica: An introduction to continuum mechanics and linear elasticity

Andrei Constantinescu, Alexander Korsunsky0521842018, 9780521842013, 9780511355684

This book is intended for researchers, engineers and students in solid mechanics, materials science and physics who are interested in using the power of modern computing to solve a wide variety of problems of both practical and fundamental significance in elasticity. Extensive use of Mathematica in the book makes available to the reader a range of recipes that can be readily adjusted to match particular tastes or requirements, to visualize solutions, and to carry out symbolic and numerical analysis and optimization.
