The 15 chapters in this volume are arranged in a logical progression. The text begins with the more fundamental materials on stress, strain and plane elasticity. There follows a full treatment of the theories of bending and torsion. Coverage of moment distribution, shear flow, struts and energy methods precedes a chapter on finite elements. Thereafter, the book presents yield and strength criteria, plasticity, collapse, creep, visco-elasticity, fatigue and fracture mechanics. Appended is material on the properties of areas, matrices and stress concentrations. Each topic is illustrated by worked examples and supported by numerous exercises.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good depth items,

This review is from: Mechanics of Solids and Structures (Paperback)
Good for the wide and exhaustive arguments definition.
A bit "heavy" for who wants "fluid readings"!
