Contents:

Symbols and Notation; Chapter 1. Vectors (Problems 1 to 20); Chapter 2. Fields (Problems 21 to 25); Chapter 3. Matter Tensors and Coordinate Transformations (Problems 26 to 75); Chapter 4. Stress (Problems 76 to 97); Chapter 5. Infinitesimal Strain (Problems 98 to 115); Chapter 6. Finite Strain (Problems 116 to 124); Chapter 7. Effects of Stress (Problems 125 to 135); Chapter 8. Strain History and Polar Decomposition (Problem 136); Answers; Summary of Formulæ; Appendix A. Elastic Parameters for Isotropic Bodies; Appendix B. Units of Stress; References; Index; A; B; C; D; E; F; G; H.

Summary: Students of geology who may have only a modest background in mathematics need to become familiar with the theories of stress, strain, and other tensor quantities, so that they can follow, and apply to their own research, developments in modern, quantitative geology. This book, based on a course taught by the author at UCLA, can provide the proper introduction. Included throughout the eight chapters are 136 complex problems, advancing from vector algebra in standard and subscript notations, to the mathematical description of finite strain and its compounding and decomposition. Fully worked solu.
