Summary : 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 to critical conditions. With this in mind, the author tries wherever possible to give a physical and even an intuitive interpretation to the problems under investigation. For example, students are encouraged to estimate the location of weak and strong bending axes and the resulting neutral axis of bending before performing calculations, and the author discusses ways of getting good accuracy with a simple one degree of freedom Rayleigh-Ritz approximation. Students are also encouraged to develop a feeling for structural deformation by performing simple experiments in their outside environment, such as estimating the radius to which an initially straight bar can be bent without producing permanent deformation, or convincing themselves of the dramatic difference between torsional and bending stiffness for a thin-walled open beam section by trying to bend and then twist a structural steel beam by hand-applied loads at one end. In choosing dimensions for mechanical components, designers will expect to be guided by criteria of minimum weight, which with elementary calculations, generally leads to a thin-walled structure as an optimal solution. This consideration motivates the emphasis on thin-walled structures, but also demands that students be introduced to the limits imposed by structural instability. Emphasis is also placed on the effect of manufacturing errors on such highly-designed structures - for example, the effect of load misalignment on a beam with a large ratio between principal stiffness and the large magnification of initial alignment or loading errors in a strut below, but not too far below the buckling load.

Summary : This book emphasizes engineering applications of elasticity. This is a first-year graduate textbook in linear elasticity. It is written with the practical engineering reader in mind, dependence on previous knowledge of solid mechanics, continuum mechanics or mathematics being minimized. Examples are generally worked through to final expressions for the stress and displacement fields in order to explore the engineering consequences of the results. This 4th edition presents new and revised material, notably on the Eshelby inclusion problem and anisotropic elasticity. The topics covered are chosen with a view to modern research applications in fracture mechanics, composite materials, tribology and numerical methods. Thus, significant attention is given to crack and contact problems, problems involving interfaces between dissimilar media, thermoelasticity, singular asymptotic stress fields and three-dimensional problems.

Summary : The Leading Practical Guide to Stress Analysis—Updated with State-of-the-Art Methods, Applications, and Problems This widely acclaimed exploration of real-world stress analysis reflects advanced methods and applications used in today’s mechanical, civil, marine, aeronautical engineering, and engineering mechanics/science environments. Practical and systematic, Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Applied Elasticity, Sixth Edition, has been updated with many new examples, figures, problems, MATLAB solutions, tables, and charts. The revised edition balances discussions of advanced solid mechanics, elasticity theory, classical analysis, and computer-oriented approaches that facilitate solutions when problems resist conventional analysis. It illustrates applications with case studies, worked examples, and problems drawn from modern applications, preparing readers for both advanced study and practice. Readers will find updated coverage of analysis and design principles, fatigue criteria, fracture mechanics, compound cylinders, rotating disks, 3-D Mohr’s circles, energy and variational methods, buckling of various columns, common shell types, inelastic materials behavior, and more. The text addresses the use of new materials in bridges, buildings, automobiles, submarines, ships, aircraft, and spacecraft. It offers significantly expanded coverage of stress concentration factors and contact stress developments. This book aims to help the reader Review fundamentals of statics, solids mechanics, stress, and modes of load transmission Master analysis and design principles through hands-on practice to illustrate their connections Understand plane stress, stress transformations, deformations, and strains Analyze a body’s load-carrying capacity based on strength, stiffness, and stability Learn and apply the theory of elasticity Explore failure criteria and material behavior under diverse conditions, and predict component deformation or buckling Solve problems related to beam bending, torsion of noncircular bars, and axisymmetrically loaded components, plates, or shells Use the numerical finite element method to economically solve complex problems Characterize the plastic behavior of materials Register your product for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.

Summary : This is an advanced mechanics of materials textbook dedicated to senior undergraduate or beginning graduate students in mechanical, civil, and aeronautical engineering departments. The text covers subject matter generally referred to as advanced mechanics of materials or advanced strength of materials. The course is commonly called Intermediate/Advanced Strength of Materials, Advanced Mechanics of Materials, or Advanced Mechanics of Solids. This course follows an elementary Solid Mechanics (Vable OUP 2002) course and is taken by most structural engineering majors and aero majors. Unique features of Solecki/Conant include introduction to model topics such as fracture mechanics and viscoelasticity. Unlike the competition, the textbook introduces more applications to contemporary practice, as well as modern computer tools such as MATLAB.
