Review: Concise, clear description of the theory - Like all books in Landau's classic series of books, this one also presents a clear, first-principles description of the mathematical theory underlying some part of physics, in this case, elasticity. I already own Timoshenko's text and like this book far better. This has to do with my specific purpose: I was mainly looking for a reference text that explains the theory concisely and yet completely. I already have a good grasp of other areas in physics, differential calculus, tensors etc. Timoshenko's "build up" starting with plane stress/strain and going towards 3D might be good for students, but left me a bit frustrated as I tried to string together the big picture from snapshots here and there. On the other hand, when I received and opened this book today, the first chapter's title said: "Fundamental Equations," and it made me smile. In typical Landau fashion, the book always goes from the general towards the specific, fast, which is excellent for conveying the essence and global structure of a physical theory. Such structure also clarifies the scope of applicability of various approximations. It transmits the essential mathematical formulation of elasticity in 17 pages. So, if you're looking for a concise, compact, clear theoretical description of elasticity, I highly recommend this book. If you own other books in this series for similar reasons, you will also love this one.

Dans ce qui était l'union soviétique, cette entreprise a conduit à mettre dans les mains de nombreux étudiants dont j'étais, des livres sur des sujets variés sans comparaison avec la littérature scientifique ni anglosaxonne ni française. Bien sûr il y avait dans la collection MIR quelques insuffisances mais beaucoup de ces livres alliaient l'orignalité de la démarche avec la pertinence des propos. Il a parfois été reproché l'abondance des mathématiques mais c'est en cela même que ces livres sont précieux. En effet il faut quelques efforts pour comprendre. L'elasticité est un petit bijou qui malheureusement avait disparu , on ne peut qu'encourager les éditeurs à rééditer toute la collection. ## Frequently Bought Together - Theory of Elasticity - Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 6, 2Nd Edn --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8694037-theory-of-elasticity-volume-7-theoretical-physics](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8694037-theory-of-elasticity-volume-7-theoretical-physics) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
