Elasticity of Transversely Isotropic Materials

From the reviews:

"The authors’ main goal is to provide an introduction to the theory and applications of mechanics of transversely isotropic elastic materials. … Additional notes and bibliography to chapters, special functions and nomenclature are included in three appendices. … this book is written to meet the needs of modern topics on mechanics of transversely isotropic elastic solids. … It seems to be a useful reference book on the subject. … the book can be considered as an important contribution to the engineering literature." (Lokenath Debnath, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1101 (3), 2007)

"Ideally and emphatically Elasticity of Transversely Isotropic Materials may claim to be the first monograph on mechanics of transversely isotropic materials, which is unique, covers topics of practical importance and provides many references for the reader. Engineers, production and field engineers in engineering disciplines;, designers, and researchers in industry who are interested in the solution of transversely isotropic elastic materials will find this text an inviting study … . a pleasure and an education to read. It is simply brilliant." (Current Engineering Practice, 2007)
