Engineering structures considered include bars, columns, struts,
tubes, vessels, beams, springs and frames. The loadings imposed
upon them are, typically, tension, compression and shear, bending,
torsion and pressure, separately and in combination. The mechanics
of such structures examine the manner in which they each bear their
respective loading in a safe predictable way. This aids design
considerations upon choice of material and its physical shape when
seeking, say, a safe design with low weight.The presentation of
chapters is intended to guide the reader from a basic to more
advanced understanding of common engineering structures. Thus, the
consideration of stress and strain under elastic and plastic
conditions is required for a full understanding of a structure that
may bend, twist and buckle as it is deflected by its loading. The
approach adopted is to intersperse theory with examples and
exercises that emphasise practical application. Standard analytical
techniques including stress transformation, energy methods and
yield criteria precede a final chapter on finite element
analysis.Worked examples and exercises have been devised and
compiled by the author to support the topics within each chapter.
Some have been derived, with a conversion to SI units, from past
examination papers set by institutions with which the author has
been associated, namely: Brunel, Kingston and Surrey Universities
and the Council of Engineering Institutions.The contents should
serve most courses in mechanical, civil, aeronautical and materials
engineering.
