Mechanics of solids and structures (Q2884967)

The second edition of this textbook on mechanics of solids and on advanced strength of materials presents the latest development in computational methods and the theoretical progress needed to master the advanced engineering mechanics. The main topics can be seen from the contents, i.e.:NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE 1. Introduction.NEWLINE2. Statically determinate systems.NEWLINE3. Relationships between stress and strain.NEWLINE4. Statically indeterminate systems.NEWLINE5. Bending of beams: moments, forces and stresses.NEWLINE6. Bending of beams: deflection.NEWLINE7. Torsion.NEWLINE8. Instability and buckling of struts and columns.NEWLINE9. Transformations of stress and strain.NEWLINE10. Equilibrium and compatibility equations: beams and thick-walled cylinders.NEWLINE11. Energy methods of structural mechanics.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThree appendices contain some practical formulae. Each chapter is followed by many numerical problems; for half of them the solutions are provided. This popular text can serve as a basis for a senior/graduate (4th or 5th year) course in the field.
