Applied Mechanics of Solids

Product Description

The second edition of Applied Mechanics of Solids provides a concise description of all the concepts needed to predict how solid materials deform and fail under stress. With its companion volume of solved example problems it is an invaluable class textbook or reference for personal study or review. With the aid of computer simulations design engineers can predict stresses deformation and failure in structural mechanical and bio-mechanical components with a few keystrokes. But simulations are built on sophisticated mathematics physics and numerical methods and always involve some judicious approximations. Engineers need a thorough grasp of these concepts to know how to set up their simulatio…
