A distinguished mathematician and notable university teacher, Isaac Todhunter (1820-84) became known for the successful textbooks he produced as well as for a work ethic that was extraordinary, even by Victorian standards. A scholar who read all the major European languages, Todhunter was an open-minded man who admired George Boole and helped introduce the moral science examination at Cambridge. His many gifts enabled him to produce the histories of mathematical subjects which form his lasting memorial. First published between 1886 and 1893, the present work was the last of these. Edited and completed after Todhunter's death by Karl Pearson (1857-1936), another extraordinary man who pioneered modern statistics, these volumes trace the mathematical understanding of elasticity from the seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. Volume 2 (1893) was split into two parts. Part 2 covers the work of Neumann, Kirchhoff, Clebsch, Boussinesq, and Lord Kelvin.

In materials, their strength is the ability to bear an applied load before their failure. In this direction, the Strength of Materials studies the stresses and deformations that happen in materials as an outcome of loads acting on them. The book contains eleven peer-reviewed chapters organized into two sections. Section 1 is focused on the strength of metals and composites materials, in other words on traditional materials used in engineering projects. Section 2 contains chapters on sustainable materials or non-conventional materials. We sincerely hope that you enjoy this book and the contents will help in the dissemination of knowledge to researchers and students working with materials and their applications.
