A systematic presentation of theory, procedures, illustrative
examples, and applications, Mechanics of Materials provides the
basis for understanding structural mechanics in engineering systems
such as buildings, bridges, vehicles, and machines. The book
incorporates the fundamentals of the subject into analytical
methods, modeling approaches, numerical methods, experimental
procedures, numerical evaluation procedures, and design
techniques.
It introduces the fundamentals, and then moves on to more
advanced concepts and applications. It discusses analytical methods
using simple mathematics, examples and experimental techniques, and
it includes a large number of worked examples and case studies that
illustrate practical and real-world usage.
- In the beginning of each chapter, states and summarizes the
objectives and approaches, and lists the main topics covered in the
chapter
- Presents the key issues and formulas in a "Summary Sheet" at
the end of each chapter
- Provides as appendices at the end of the book, useful reference
data and advanced material that cannot be conveniently integrated
into the main chapters
Mechanics of Materials is a result of the author's experience in
teaching an undergraduate course in mechanics of materials
consisting of mechanical, manufacturing, materials, mining and
mineral engineering students and in teaching other courses in
statics, dynamics, modeling, vibration, instrumentation, testing,
design, and control. This book is suitable for anyone with a basic
engineering background. The practical considerations, design
issues, and engineering techniques, and the snapshot-style
presentation of advanced theory and concepts, makes this a useful
reference for practicing professionals as well.
