This text is the outgrowth of material used in senior and graduate courses for students in civil, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering. To meet the needs of this varied audience, we have labored to make this text flexible as to possible use. Consequently, the book is divided into three distinct parts of approximately equal size. Part I is entitled "Foundations of Solid Mechanics and Variational Methods." Part II is entitled "Structural Mechanics." These two parts are taken (with some deletions, additions, and alterations) from the authors' text Solid Mechanics: A Variational Approach, published by McGraw-Hill in 1973. Part III is entitled “Finite Elements.” Depending on the background of the students and the aims of the course, the instructor can use selected portions from some or all of the three parts of the text to form the basis of an individual course.
