Is there "The Experimental Foundations of Solid Mechanics"by James Bell on WWW? I cannot find this book in Beijing, what a pity.

first comment on imechanica

A E Love -Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of Elasticity

I recommend this classic book to persons, who want to learn something more about elasticity that cannot be found in traditional books. It's a pretty valuable and inspiring book in elasticity today, although it was written by Love more than 100 years ago. It included many impressive topics such as equilibirum of anistropic elastic solid bodies, the equilibrium of a elastic sphere, plates and shells. As far as I know, this book is frequently quoted in recent artilces. However, it will be very tough to read this book, even though you have some basic knowledge about elasticity. I have only scanned some chapters. Everyone should have a try.
