Hardcover. Condizione: New. The aim of this book is to present the essentials of solid mechanics with reference to basic load-bearing members straight bars, thin-walled cylindrical and spherical pressure vessels, circular shafts, beams undergoing simple bending, and columns. The corresponding fundamental assumptions, important equations, and their range of validity, are concisely elucidated without formal derivations; subsequently, the sequence of steps in the analysis of forces, stresses and displacements, or stability, is amply illustrated by way of several carefully selected examples. Further, combined loading, stress and strain transformations, energy methods, and failure analysis using commonly employed criteria, are also dealt with. Thus, this book is expected to serve as a handy, yet complete, resource for students of this subject, as well as a ready reference for a practicing engineer or a graduate preparing for an interview or a competitive examination.
