5.0 out of 5 stars
Clearly written book that is still good.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strength of Materials (Dover Books on Engineering) (Paperback)
Both books on mechanics of materials by Den Hartog are remarkable. All the questions have answers, the writing is clear and to the point. In this book, he gives the method of Myosotis to calculate the deflections of beams. Although such material is outdated, it does illustrate an elegant way of solving beam deflection problems. Today, many problems are being solved by brute-force computer methods. (Just make an FE mesh!!) Read this book even though it will not teach you anything new, if only like a novel.

Probably the best book on strength of materials,
This review is from: Strength of Materials (Dover Books on Engineering) (Paperback)
This is the best book on mechanics of materials I have come across. Much more mathematical rigor than similar books by Gere and others. I read this book as an undergraduate and it put me at the top of the class. Of particular note is the Myosotis Method in the section on deflection of beams. This extremely useful method is very powerful, and has been abondonded in most new books becuase of computer software now available. Also has the best treatment of Castigliano Theorem. This book is a must have for any engineer concerned with materials. If your looking for a more advanced book, Advanced Strength of Materials, by the same offer is also very good, but outdated. It does have a very good treatment of shell theory. Better than a good amount of the books on theoretical elasticity that I own. Simply; good author; good book.

Good text.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strength of Materials (Dover Books on Engineering) (Paperback)
A well-written and entertaining text. Not as good as Den Hartog's text on advanced strength of materials, but good anyway.
