Analytical Methods in Anisotropic Elasticity with Symbolic Computational Tools

From the reviews:

"The book emphasizes the applications of analytical methods in the solutions of boundary value problems (BVPs) in anisotropic elasticity, but the focus is on the procedure of obtaining analytical solutions. It starts with a condensed, mathematically flavored summary of basics of anisotropic elasticity in the first 4 chapters. The primary methods, the global polynomial analysis and the method of complex potentials are then introduced. The methods are applied to various two dimensional and three dimensional BVPs, with a focus on beams with different levels of anisotropy. A feature of this book is that the solution for each type of problems is preceded with a complete mathematical formulation of the BVP. It also contains many solved problems and an extensive list of references. It should be noted that the authors do not discuss how to use symbolic computational tools. The book can be used as a reference for those who are familiar with the theory of elasticity and are interested in analytical solutions of BVPs in anisotropic elasticity."--MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

“The book is intended to be a self-contained reference for the topic and aimed at practicing engineers who put the analytical approaches for anisotropic elasticity problems to practical use. Graduate, postgraduate and doctoral students of mechanical engineering could benefit from using the book as well. This well-written book is a reader-friendly and well organized handbook in the field of anisotropic elasticity. It can be highly recommended for experts in Mechanics of Solids, engineers, and for graduate, postgraduate and doctoral students.”(ZENTRALBLATT MATH)
