Abstract
The present book is restricted to small deformation of solid continua until Chapter X, where the finite deformation theory will start. Indicial notation rules, using subscripts to denote Cartesian components of tensors, will be followed until Section 10.6. Unless specified otherwise, subscripts 1, 2 and 3 denote Cartesian components in x 1, x 2 and x 3-directions respectively. Many textbooks denote x 1 x 2, x 3 by x, y, z respectively. Figure 2.1 shows the equivalence between the notations.
