Mechanics of materials

Meer over het boek

Substantially extended revision of the highly successful first edition, covering the behaviour of solid bodies under load. Components considered in detail include beams, shafts, cylinders, struts, diaphragms and springs. The theories of elastic failure, 2 and 3 dimensional stress and strain systems, post yield behaviour and experimental stress analysis techniques are also extensively covered. The second edition contains important new chapters on fatigue, creep and fracture, and on contact stresses, residual stresses and stress concentrations. Contains a large number of worked examples (150) and problems (500).
