A comprehensive textbook covering not only the ordinary theory of the deformation of solids, but also some topics not usually found in textbooks on the subject, such as thermal conduction and viscosity in solids and various problems on the theory of elastic vibrations and waves. The third edition includes a new chapter on the mechanics of liquid crystals.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fortunately... not Timoshenko,
By A Customer
This review is from: Theory of Elasticity, Third Edition: Volume 7 (Theoretical Physics) (Paperback)
Timoshenko's book is a collection of exercises. Landau's book is a collection of ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A CONCISE AND ELEGANT BOOK ON ELASTICITY,
By Paulo (paulovol@convex.com.br) (Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Theory of Elasticity, Third Edition: Volume 7 (Theoretical Physics) (Paperback)
This is the Volume 7 of the famous Course of Theoretical Physics by L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz. All serious students of theoretical physics must possess the ten volumes of this excellent Course, which cover in detail and rigour practically all the branches of theoretical physics. The Volume 7 treats the subject of the mechanics of deformable bodies. Unlike the major part of other similar books, the Volume 7 is concise and very elegant, and is at the same time detailed in the exposition of the basic elasticity theory. Moreover, it contains certain topics not usually found in other similar books, such as the theory of thermal conduction and viscosity of solids, and a detailed exposition of the fundamentals of the mechanics of liquid crystals. A highly recommended book!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Bad print for an otherwise good textbook.,
By D. Stelitano (stelitan@mit.edu) (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Theory of Elasticity, Third Edition: Volume 7 (Theoretical Physics) (Paperback)
The book is a classic in the field; it's well written and clear, with interesting problems. However, the Publisher chose very tiny fonts, sometimes lacking in toner. Overall they did a terrible print, hard to read!
