Non-Linear Elastic Deformations from its origin and earlyThis meticulous and precise account of the theory of finite elasticity fills a significant gap in the literature. The book is concerned with the mathematical theory of non linear elasticity, the application of this theory to the solution of boundary value problems (including discussion of bifurcation and stability) and the analysis of the mechanical properties of solid materials capable of large elastic deformations. The setting is purely isothermal
