Systematic, comprehensive, and practical, this classic exploration of real-world stress analysis has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest methods and issues. It provides carefully balanced coverage of material mechanics, theory of elasticity methods, and computer-oriented numerical methods, all supported with a broad range of fully worked illustrative examples, many taken directly from actual engineering practice. Coverage includes: strain and stress-strain relationships; two-dimensional problems in elasticity; material failure criteria; bending of beams; torsion of prismatic bars; axisymmetrically loaded members; beams on elastic foundations; energy methods; elastic stability; plastic behavior of materials; plates and shells; and more. Additions to the Fourth Edition include enhanced coverage of failure criteria; fracture mechanics; compound cylinders; numerical methods; energy and variational methods; buckling of stepped columns; and common shell types.The book also provides an extensive set of sample problems, as well as tables covering software for principle stresses and area properties; beam deflection, material properties, and conversion factors. 1351448 9 2 2003 Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity 0 0 2 0 0 0 false false Sat Dec 06 13:47:06 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 06 13:47:24 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jul 24 23:38:11 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 23:38:11 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1361661
