Stress and strain

Description:

This text provides an extensive introduction to the theories of stress and strain. The first section introduces fundamental ideas such as the distinction between instantaneous quantities like stress and two-state quantities like finite strain. Part two discusses stress in detail. Part three treats deformation and strain, introduces infinitesimal and finite strain tensors and discusses strain history.
