Deformations

The purpose of the book is to present some recent progress in two active and related areas of continuum mechanics: fracture mechanics and structured deformations. The book may be divided into two parts.

These notes are based on a series of lectures given at the Tata Institute in January-February, 1973. The lectures are centered about the work of M. Scahlessinger and R. Elkik on infinitesimal deformations.

An updated account of the state of the art in the subject, presenting recent progress in two active and related areas of continuum mechanics: fracture mechanics and structured deformations.

The authors present accurate and easy-to-apply methods of analysing immediate and long-term stresses and deformations. Comprehensively updated, the third edition of Concrete Structures also four new chapters covering: non-linear analysis of plane frames, design for serviceability of prestressed concrete, serviceability of members reinforced with fibre polymer bars, and the analysis of time-dependent internal forces with linear computer programs that are routinely used by structural designers.
