Synopsis

Dr. Murnaghan begins this book with an introductory chapter setting forth the elements of matrix theory necessary to the treatment of finite deformations. With this as a background, he proceeds to investigate strain and stress matrices and the relation between them. Murnaghan applies matrix algebra to isotropic and non-isotropic elastic media, submitting these media to simple shear, simple tension, compression, and torsion. The treatment throughout is on a level elementary for its material, with through, clear explanations and may practice problems. This is a specialize but indispensable text for engineers whose work deals with deformations produced by high pressure strains and stresses and which must be computed.
