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,
-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 userfriendly form.
