Nonlinear Elasticity Theory

  • Chapter
Book cover Vibrations of Elastic Plates

Abstract

For many years, a standard treatise on elasticity has been the book by Love (1927). Another standard text on linear elasticity has been prepared by Timoshenko and Goodier (1970), which first appeared in 1934. Among other books on nonlinear elasticity, we mention those by Novozhilov (1948) and Fung (1965). Both of these cover the classical nonlinear case in detail. The book by Novozhilov also deals with a simplified nonlinear case of small strains and large rotations that has found important applications to large deflections of thin structures by many authors. The treatise by Fung further deals with foundations of solid mechanics in general. His book includes a very well-prepared bibliography, covering the literature in solid mechanics before 1965.
