Engineers need to be familiar with the fundamental principles and
concepts in materials and structures in order to be able to design
structurers to resist failures. For 4 decades, this book has
provided engineers with these fundamentals.
Thoroughly updated, the book has been expanded to cover
everything on materials and structures that engineering students
are likely to need. Starting with basic mechanics, the book goes on
to cover modern numerical techniques such as matrix and finite
element methods. There is also additional material on composite
materials, thick shells, flat plates and the vibrations of complex
structures. Illustrated throughout with worked examples, the book
also provides numerous problems for students to attempt.
New edition introducing modern numerical techniques, such as matrix
and finite element methods
Covers requirements for an engineering undergraduate course on
strength of materials and structures
The astonishing growth of Christianity in the global South over the
course of the twentieth century has sparked an equally rapid growth
in studies of ''World Christianity, '' which have dismantled the
notion that Christianity is a Western religion. What, then, are we
to make of the waves of Western missionaries who have, for
centuries, been evangelizing in the global South? Were they merely,
as many have argued, agents of imperialism out to impose Western
values? In An Unpredictable Gospel, Jay Case examines the efforts
of American evangelical missionaries in light of this new
scholarship. He argues that if they were agents of imperialism,
they were poor ones. Western missionaries had a dismal record of
converting non-Westerners to Christianity. The ministries that were
most successful were those that empowered the local population and
adapted to local cultures. In fact, influence often flowed the
other way, with missionaries serving as conduits for ideas that
shaped American evangelicalism. Case traces these currents and
sheds new light on the relationship between Western and non-Western
Christianities.
