Springer Anisotropic Elasticity: 85 - Lecture Notes Book

Anisotropic Elasticity: 85 offers a modern and unconventional approach to the study of anisotropy. This volume, part of the Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics series, serves as a comprehensive guide for students and professionals in the field of mechanics. The text is divided into two distinct sections to provide a clear learning path. The first part delivers a general description of Anisotropic Elasticity theories. The second part shifts focus to the polar formalism, providing a deep dive into theoretical bases and results. This section includes practical applications specifically for the design of laminated anisotropic structures. Developed from lectures held at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, this book provides a high-level academic foundation for engineers and researchers. It is an essential resource for those studying civil engineering, mechanics, and advanced computational mechanics.
