Nonlinear Problems of Elasticity

Each chapter contains a wealth of interesting, challenging, and tractable exercises. Reviews of the first edition: ``A scholarly work, it is uncompromising in its approach to model formulation, while achieving striking generality in the analysis of particular problems. It will undoubtedly become a s...
