Abstract
A STUDY of elasticity lying midway between that provided by Love in his “Theory of Elasticity” and by Morley in his “Theory of Structures and Properties of Materials” has long been required-a book, in fact, for the mathematical engineer. The present work, as its title indicates, is an attempt to fill that niche, and it contrives to do so with considerable success. Incidentally it is an exposure of the narrowness of the field that has been explored mathematically with any certitude.
