Talk:Overview of Elasticity of Materials

This book begins with the full derivation of Mohr's Circle, and a discussion on its more useful properties, before moving to an explanation of Tensors. Once this baseline has been established, isotropic and anisotropic materials will be covered, along with inhomogeneous materials.

This is not a comprehensive concept as yet as there are no plans to include boundary conditions, and such at this time. Currently, this is meant as an overview of the technical topic with room to expand into more complex explanations in the future. Specifically, the Mohr's Circle and Tensor Chapters were designed as a companion to a standard materials science textbook, like Callister's Materials Science and Engineering, to form the basis of the more advanced analysis of elastic materials provided in the next three sections without the need for an additional text usually utilized to cover this gap.

There is room in this outline for continuation into linear, homogenous, and isotropic material discussions which could be added at any time.

Outside of basic grammatical and English edits, a basic level of understanding on the subject of Materials Science, including stress and strain, is recommended for participation with this text. An understanding of linear algebra is also recommended for reviewing the Mohr's circle derivation and any work with Tensors, although these topics should be explained in the first two sections.

 * Progress is being made. I'm going to put the solutions to the homework problems as "Examples" at the end. Also, I edited the title page to put the sections inside the book instead of making them their own books.
 * I'll probably need some guidance on editing the LaTeX for the equations. Scott.beckman (discuss • contribs) 21:35, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
