A popular text in its first edition, Mechanics of Solids and
Structures serves as a course text for the senior/graduate (fourth
or fifth year) courses/modules in the mechanics of solid/advanced
strength of materials, offered in aerospace, civil, engineering
science, and mechanical engineering departments. Now, Mechanics of
Solid and Structure, Second Edition presents the latest
developments in computational methods that have revolutionized the
field, while retaining all of the basic principles and foundational
information needed for mastering advanced engineering
mechanics.
Key changes to the second edition include full-color
illustrations throughout, web-based computational material, and the
addition of a new chapter on the energy methods of structural
mechanics. Using authoritative, yet accessible language, the
authors explain the construction of expressions for both total
potential energy and complementary potential energy associated with
structures. They explore how the principles of minimal total
potential energy and complementary energy provide the means to
obtain governing equations of the structure, as well as a means to
determine point forces and displacements with ease using
Castigliano s Theorems I and II. The material presented in this
chapter also provides a deeper understanding of the finite element
method, the most popular method for solving structural mechanics
problems.
Integrating computer techniques and programs into the body of
the text, all chapters offer exercise problems for further
understanding. Several appendices provide examples, answers to
select problems, and opportunities for investigation into
complementary topics. Listings of computer programs discussed are
available on the CRC Press website.
