David J. Mukai: Advanced Mechanics of Materials, Gebunden

Klappentext

Apply the mechanics of materials method to real-world engineering problems

Since 1932, Advanced Mechanics of Materials has provided engineers with rigorous analysis methods for structural member behavior and failure criteria. Now in its Seventh Edition, this text continues its unified approach. Authors Richard Schmidt and David Mukai have refined the narrative to focus on essential elements of each topic.

This edition features updated applications that demonstrate application of fundamental equilibrium, compatibility and constitutive principles to the solutions of practical problems from engineering practice and research.. The companion website provides solutions to homework problems.

Engineers will also find:

• Review sections bridging elementary mechanics of materials to advanced topics with appropriate examples and problem sets for effective transition
• Case studies illustrating curved glue-laminated timber beam behavior, shrinkage behavior of thick-walled concrete cylinders, analysis of statically indeterminate curved beams used in timber trusses and other contemporary civil engineering challenges
• Detailed treatment of each structural member type enabling direct application of theoretical solutions to professional engineering practice

Advanced Mechanics of Materials serves upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in civil, mechanical, manufacturing, and aerospace engineering programs. Professional engineers in consulting, heavy industry, defense, and manufacturing will find it equally valuable as a reference for design and failure analysis in structural applications.
