Handbook of Elasticity Solutions

This Handbook is intended as a desk reference for researchers, students and engineers working in various areas of solid mechanics and quantitative materials science.

It contains a broad range of elasticity solutions. In particular, it covers the following topics: basic equations in various coordinate systems, Green's functions for isotropic and anisotropic solids, cracks in two and three-dimensional solids, Eshelby's problems and related results, stress concentrations at inhomogeneities, contact problems, and thermoelasticity.

The solutions have been collected from a large number of monographs and research articles.

Some of the presented results were obtained only recently and are not easily available.

All solutions have been thoroughly checked and transformed to a user-friendly form.
