About The Book:
Non-Linear Elasticity: Theory and Applications by R. W. Ogden is a comprehensive and precise account of the mathematical theory of finite elasticity. This revised edition fills a significant gap in the literature, particularly in the understanding of non-linear elasticity, the solution of boundary-value problems, and the mechanical properties of solid materials that experience large elastic deformations. With a focus on quasi-static theory, Ogden’s work provides insights into the application of elasticity theory, including discussions on bifurcation, stability, and time-dependent problems.

The book is written in a clear and coherent manner, making it an invaluable resource for both postgraduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, and continuum mechanics. It also provides useful insights for materials scientists and others concerned with the elastic properties of materials.

Professor Ogden goes beyond traditional discussions by incorporating unpublished results and new approaches to existing problems. The book also contains problem sets designed to deepen understanding and introduce new results, making it suitable as both a research monograph and a postgraduate textbook.

Widely regarded as a classic in its field, Non-Linear Elasticity remains an essential reference for anyone working in or studying the mechanical behavior of materials under large deformations
