Synopsis

This is a reference source for strength of material formulas for the analysis and design of structural members and mechanical elements. Allows efficient static, stability and dynamic analyses of beams, bars, plates and shells with very general mechanical or thermal loading. The range of solutions includes arbitrary geometries and loadings.

From the Back Cover

Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices enables you to take full advantage of the efficiency and accuracy of computers for deformation and stress analysis. The formulas included give you powerful tools for static, stability, and dynamic analyses of beams, bars, plates, and shells with very general mechanical or thermal loading. Formulas are given for stresses, displacements, buckling loads, natural frequencies, and transient responses, beams, torsional systems, extension bars, frames, thin-walled beams, curved bars, rotors, plates, thick shells, and thin shells are included. Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices delivers key material not found in other books on the subject, such as mechanical properties and testing of engineering material, geometric, shear-related properties and stresses, responses of gridworks and thick shells, and fracture mechanics and fatigue. And you’ll find a further powerful tool in the tables of structural matrices given here, which allows you to develop your own computer program to solve special problems. A succinct source on the strength of material formulas, Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices will ease the task of analysis and provide new opportunities for design engineers, structural engineers, and stress analysts.
