About the Book

Theory of Elasticity and Deformable Solids by Petre P. Teodorescu provides a comprehensive exploration into the mathematical modeling of deformable solids, focusing on elasticity theory and its computational challenges. Deformable solids exhibit complex characteristics that often make mathematical modeling difficult, but this book provides a clear introduction to the foundational concepts of mechanics and elasticity.

The treatise delves deeply into the study of strain and stress in deformable solids, and its practical relevance lies in applying scientific methods of computation to solve real-world problems in the mechanics of materials. The book is not just an introduction, but an advanced resource that discusses the behavior of materials under elastic, plastic, and viscous conditions. Special attention is given to the geometry and kinematics of deformation, mechanics of stresses, and the fundamental laws governing material behavior.

Drawing on over 50 years of experience as a Professor of Mechanics and Elasticity at the University of Bucharest, Teodorescu offers new solutions to boundary value problems in finite and infinite domains, provides a thorough examination of anisotropic and non-homogeneous bodies, and models Cosserat-type bodies. This work also bridges the connection between elasticity and phenomena like thermal and viscous behavior.

This book is essential for researchers in applied mathematics, mechanical and civil engineering, and those with a keen interest in the theoretical and practical aspects of deformable solids.
