Anisotropic Elasticity offers for the first time a comprehensive survey of the analysis of anisotropic materials that can have up to twenty-one elastic constants. Focusing on the mathematically elegant and technically powerful Stroh formalism as a means to understanding the subject, the author tackles a broad range of key topics, including antiplane deformations, Green's functions, stress singularities in composite materials, elliptic inclusions, cracks, thermo-elasticity, and piezoelectric materials, among many others. Well written, theoretically rigorous, and practically oriented, the book will be welcomed by students and researchers alike.

Anisotropic Elasticity: Theory and Applications,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Anisotropic Elasticity: Theory and Applications (Oxford Engineering Science Series) (Hardcover)
This is the first monograph dealing with anisotropic elasticity by means of Stroh formalism. The author presented a very comprehensive review of the development of this topic in the last five decades since Stroh's work. Theories developed in this monograph are very useful to the study of general anisotropic problems in crystals and composite materials, such as acoustics, contact mechanics, fracture mechanics. By this method, you are able to express your solution in a very concise while beatiful format, which is almost impossible by other mothods. This method is easily performed by some standard computer codes, although the book seems not interested in this.I keep this book as a main reference when I study fracture, and wave problems relating polymer composites and other layered structures. One of the minor disadvantages of this book maybe is that the book did not consider problems with finite dimensions such as layered materials. To study this monography should have some solid fundamentals of Complex Analysis and Matrix Theory. Xiangfa Wu Univeristy of Nebrask-Lincoln
