DESCRIPTION:
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. From the Back CoverThis meticulous and precise account of the theory of finite elasticity fills a significant gap in the literature. Problems designed to further develop the text material are given throughout and some of these contain statements of new results.Widely regarded as a cl
In part the work can be regarded as a research monograph but, at the same time, parts of it are also suitable as a postgraduate text.

student said Good book for already knowlegeable reader. This is great book for someone who knows elasticity and some continuum mechanics. recommended for graduate students who will pursue research requiring nonlinear elasticity. For average course on elasticity, this might not be the best book.. Temesgen M. Kindo said THE BOOK! But not your first book. This is one of the best contemporary books in solid mechanics. This is the book for people who have read other continuum mechanics/elasticity books and wondered "but why?". You really should be motivated and solve the problems too. Every line of the book is written for a purpose. I find something new every time I read it. If you don't understand something on first try, go on to the next section and return later.Prof. Ogden is a mathematician. But for a mathematician, his book is very physically motivated. He also gives physical interpretation for most of the mathematical results he derives. The cute part of this book. A Customer said A defense of Ogden. It is easy to see why other reviewers do not like this book: it is very advanced. It is not for an undergraduate, and probably not for a graduate student unless she or he is already very familiar with elasticity and solid mechanics. It is not, at bottom, a text for learning the rudiments of the theory of elasticity: it is more on the level of a research monograph, and Malvern or Fung are better choices for many students. However, Ogden is probably the best work available (other than perhaps Truesdell, who can be an acquired taste) on the rigourous theory of non-linear elasticity. If you have an interest in the struct
