Statistical Mechanics of Elasticity pairs of conicsAn advanced treatment of elasticity from the atomistic viewpoint, this volume offers students and teachers a self contained text. Its detailed development of the general principles of statistical mechanics leads to a concentration on the principles' application to the elastic behavior of solids. The first part is based solely on classical mechanics, starting with an introductory chapter that summarizes thermoelasticity from the continuum viewpoint.
