Abstract

In recent years the Russian mathematicians have obtained brilliant solutions to problems in Plane Elasticity by representing them in terms of complex functions. This new technique is fully explained, along with many significant solutions, in the book ‘Some Basic Problems of the Mathematical Theory of Elasticity’ by N. I. Muskhelishvili, who is of the of the foremost proponents of this method. This work has been translated into English by J. R. M. Radok from the Third Edition (1949) in the original Russian and was published by P. Nordhoff of Holland in 1953.
