Book description
This book is a second edition of one with the same title which was published by the Cambridge University Press in two volume bearing the dates 1892 and 1893. At the time, about five years ago, when it first became necessary to think about a new edition, a number of friends had sent me criticism of particular sections of the book and suggestion for improvements in matters of detail. Among these friends Prof. W. J. Lewis and Prof. W. M. F. Orr must me named with especial gratitude. I knew then that two are three chapters ought to be written, and that the results of several new researches to be incorporated, but I did not contemplate a very extension revision. The task of rearranging the old matter, with some considerable addition and a few slight omissions become distasteful, and the result appear to unsatisfactory, that at the length I abandoned the attempt, and wrote a new book containing some extracts form the old one. The science of of Elasticity - the mechanics of solid bodies ad they really are - is so important in itself, and the physical nations and analytic processes belonging to the theory are so widely used in other branches of Physics, that no apology seems to be necessary for the course that has been pursued. In the selection, and the mode of presentation, of the matter three objects have been kept in view: to make the book useful to engineers, or others, whose aims are chiefly practical, to emphasize the bearing of the theory on general questions of natural physiology, to afford a reasonably complete picture of the state of the science as it is the to-day. The desire to be useful had let me to undertake some rather laborious arithmetical computations, physical interest has promoted some thing more than a passing reference to several matter which lie outside the strict scope of the mechanical theory, completeness has be required the inclusion of some rather long analytical investigations.

Book description
This graduate-level study approaches mathematical foundations of 3-dimensional elasticity using modern differential geometry and functional analysis. It is directed to mathematicians, engineers and physicists who wish to see this classical subject in a modern setting with examples of newer mathematical contributions. The authors have incorporated relevant problems throughout the text. Jerrold E. Marsden is Professor of Mathematics, University of California, Berkeley. Thomas J. R. Hughes is Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University. 1983 edition.

Book description
Cet ouvrage montre que les cordes réelles ne sont pas réductibles à la corde vibrante. Elles sont le siège de phénomènes vibratoires complexes, avec des amortissements d'origine diverse et des couplages de modes provenant des non-linéarités intrinsèques. Ces couplages interviennent en particulier dans le transitoire d'attaque. Des aspects structurels sont abordés, notamment dans les cordes filées. Dans certaines applications (instruments à chevalets plats ), des effets fortement non linéaires sont induits par une condition aux limites d'appui directionnel. Tous ces mécanismes conditionnent à des degrés divers les applications musicales (choix des cordes) et interviennent, d'une façon générale, dans les applications industrielles des fils précontraints.

Book description
This highly useful textbook presents comprehensive intermediate-level coverage of nearly all major topics of elastic wave propagation in solids. The subjects range from the elementary theory of waves and vibrations in strings to the three-dimensional theory of waves in thick plates. The book is designed not only for a wide audience of engineering students, but also as a general reference for workers in vibrations and acoustics.
