Description for Intermediate Mechanics of Materials
Hardback. This updated second edition of the second-level course book covers the essential topics in strength and mechanics of materials, with an emphasis on techniques that are useful for mechanical design. It bridges the gap between theory and real-world applications. Series: Solid Mechanics and its Applications. Num Pages: 633 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TGB; TGMD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 34. Weight in Grams: 1061.
This book covers the essential topics for a second-level course in strength of materials or mechanics of materials, with an emphasis on techniques that are useful for mechanical design. Design typically involves an initial conceptual stage during which many options are considered. At this stage, quick approximate analytical methods are crucial in determining which of the initial proposals are feasible. The ideal would be to get within 30% with a few lines of calculation. The designer also needs to develop experience as to the kinds of features in the geometry or the loading that are most likely to lead ... Read more
