Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 620.11 CRA
Contents:
Introduction to mechanics of materials -- Stress and strain : introductoin to design -- Axial deformation -- Torsion -- Equilibrium of beams -- Stresses in beams -- Deflection of beams -- Transformations of stress and strain : Mohr's circle -- Pressure vessels : stresses due to comblined loading -- Buckling of columns -- Energy methods -- Special topics related to design.
Summary: "By emphasizing the three key concepts of mechanics of solids, this new edition helps engineers improve their problem-solving skills. They'll discover how these fundamental concepts underlie all of the applications presented, and they'll learn how to identify the equations needed to solve various problems. New discussions are included on literature reviews, focusing on the literature review found in proposals and research articles. Groupware communication tools including blogs, wikis and meeting applications are covered. More information is also presented on transmittal letters and PowerPoint style presentations. And with the addition of detailed example problems, engineers will learn how to organize their solutions."-- Provided by publisher.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The core concepts of equilibrium, force-temperature-deformationbehavior of materials, and geometry of deformation are central to astudents understanding of mechanics of materials. The third editionof Roy Craig?s Mechanics of Materials maintains itssignature clear focus on these core concepts while showing studentshow to approach and solve problems with his four-step problemsolving methodology.

With newly revised and updated homework problems, this editionbrings on an award-winning software program, MD Solids, toreinforce visualization using animations, tutorials, and examples.In addition, new chapter summary tables help readers check theirunderstanding of key concepts and key equations to increase studentretention.
