<br/><br/>Introduction and historical background -- Mathematical preliminaries : the elements of matrix-tensor theory and of the finite difference method -- The tensors of elasticity : the inertia, strain, and stress tensors -- The connection between the linearized mathematical theory of elasticity and engineering elasticity -- The simple tension : compression structure : the Truss -- The simplest shear-tension-compression structure : the beam -- Shear and moment diagrams -- The bending stress and shear design of beams -- Deflection of beams -- Statically indeterminate beams -- Bending instability : the design of columns -- The torsion problem -- Engineering elasticity analysis of special structures. 
<br/><br/> "The two fundamental premises of the original edition have been adhered to, namely: To obtain a real understanding of "mechanics of materials" we must go back to the beginnings of the fields i.e the linearized mathematical theory of elasticity; Secondly, the subject of engineering elasticity is a natural one to use in introducing to the undergraduate engineering student the important topic of tensors."--
