5.0 out of 5 stars
A good book on structural mechanics,
This review is from: Energy and Finite Element Methods In Structural Mechanics: SI Units (Hardcover)
I really like this book. It help me a lot in additional knowledge in structural mechanics. It gives a very good approach on the energy method as well as the calculus of variations. Although i would not recommend this book for studying about calculus of variations (not a book for beginner`s in this field). The book gives good details about beams (and other not so well known theories and approaches for solutions) and also plates. It deals with shear deformation as well as buckling. This book is recommended not only for civil engineering students but also for mechanical engineering. The book also provided basics for finite element analysis. But the approach of the discussion for the FEM should not be considered for an introductory course. All in all for what i`m looking for this book (mainly about plates) it is fairly complete. It is a very good book and very satisfying to read.

Photocopy!,

This review is from: Energy and Finite Element Methods In Structural Mechanics: SI Units (Hardcover)
I purchased this item new from Amazon. I'm not commenting about the quality of the content but the quality of the print. It seems that the book is literally a photocopy of the original version. the figures have lost the quality. There is no gray shadings it is just black dots!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful book for researchers in structural engineering,
By Mohindra (Hoboken, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Energy and Finite Element Methods in Structural Mechanics (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book I have ever come across in structural engineering. Professors Shames & Dym deserve all praise for the amount of hard work, they have put in it. This book covers almost all essentials required for structural engineers especially who are involved in reseach as I am, in the field of advanced solid mechanics, theory of plates and further in finite element analysis. The way calculus of variation has been discussed with the help of comprehensive examples is magnificent.I am highly influenced by this book while taking courses for theory of elasticity, theory of elastic stability, theory of plates and fininte element.
