Exercise Exercise Katie Dicker "Discusses in-depth the benefits of exercise for teenagers, including how to make exercise fun and safe and develop it into a life-long habit"-- OL15111199W
Fundamental Solutions in Elastodynamics Fundamental Solutions in Elastodynamics Eduardo Kausel This work is a compilation of fundamental solutions (or Green's functions) for classical or canonical problems in elastodynamics presented with a common format and notation. These formulas describe t… OL15185966W
Inelastic Deformation of Composite Materials Inelastic Deformation of Composite Materials George J. Dvorak Polymer composites were introduced for the aerospace industry as light, strong, stiff materials, and adopted by the construction and automobile industries, among others. Meanwhile, composite material… OL19857271W
Introduction to Linear Elasticity Introduction to Linear Elasticity Phillip L. Gould This applications-oriented introduction to the theory of elasticity fills an important gap in the field of solid mechanics. The book is intended to provide a thorough grounding in the tensor-based th… OL19859058W

Mechanics of Poroelastic Media Mechanics of Poroelastic Media A. P. S. Selvadurai In Mechanics of Poroelastic Media the classical theory of poroelasticity developed by Biot is developed and extended to the study of problems in geomechanics, biomechanics, environmental mechanics an… OL19887052W
Solid Mechanics Solid Mechanics J. P. Ward This book is a concise and readable introductory text on solid mechanics suitable for engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians. It presents the foundations of stress, strain and elasticity th… OL19902904W
Treatise on Classical Elasticity Treatise on Classical Elasticity Petre P. Teodorescu Deformable solids have a particularly complex character; mathematical modeling is not always simple and often leads to inextricable difficulties of computation. One of the simplest mathematical model… OL19907893W
Vibrations of Elasto-Plastic Bodies Vibrations of Elasto-Plastic Bodies Vladimir Palmov Underservedly little attention is paid in the vast literature on the theories of vibration and plasticity to the problem of steady-state vibrations in elastoplastic bodies. This problem, however, is … OL19909700W
What is bouncy and stretchy? What is bouncy and stretchy? Sarah Warbrick Demonstrates the physical property of elasticity in a variety of everyday objects through looking at things which bounce and stretch. Suggested level: junior, primary. OL26433922W
Rubberlike elasticity Rubberlike elasticity James E. Mark Elastomers and rubberlike materials form a critical component in diverse applications that range from tyres to biomimetics and are used in chemical, biomedical, mechanical and electrical engineering.… OL4079932W
Mathematical theory of elasticity Mathematical theory of elasticity Ivan Stephen Sokolnikoff This is an excellent text book on the theory of elasticity with tensor notation. A student does not any special prior preparation in using the tensor notation as the use as its use has been maint… OL5906162W
