Emphasises 3-dimensional elasticity, concisely covering this important subject by filling the gap between a mathematical and engineering approach. Based on the author's extensive research experience, it reflects the need for more sophisticated methods of elastic analysis than is usually taught at the undergraduate level. Presented at a level of sophistication for engineers with mathematical knowledge and those familiar with matrices. The author uses Cartesian tensors to develop the theory of thermo-elasticity, the theory of generalised plane stress and complex variable analysis. Relatively inaccessible material with important applications receives special attention, e.g. Russian work on anisotropic materials, the technique of thermal imaging of strain, and an analysis of the San Andreas fault. Tensor equations are given in straightforward notation to provide a physical grounding and assist comprehension, and there are useful tables for the solution of problems.
