Mechanics of Solids Paperback / softback
by Carl (Professor of Structural Dynamics, University of Portsmouth, UK) Ross, John Bird, Andrew Little
Paperback / softback
Description
Mechanics of Solids provides an introduction to the behaviour of solid materials under various loading conditions, focusing upon the fundamental concepts and principles of statics and stress analysis.
As the primary recommended text of the Council of Engineering Institutions for university undergraduates studying mechanics of solids it is essential reading for mechanical engineering undergraduates and also students on many civil, structural, aeronautical and other engineering courses.
The mathematics in this book has been kept as straightforward as possible and worked examples are used to reinforce key concepts.
Practical stress and strain scenarios are covered, including simple stress and strain, torsion, bending, elastic failure and buckling.
Many examples are given of thin-walled structures, beams, struts and composite structures.
This third edition includes new chapters on matrix algebra, linear elastic fracture mechanics, material property considerations and more on strain energy methods.
The companion website www.routledge.com/cw/bird provides full solutions to all 575 further problems in the text, multiple-choice tests, a list of essential formulae, resources for adopting course instructors, together with several practical demonstrations by Professor Ross.
