Engineering Solid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications

Engineering Solid Mechanics bridges the gap between elementary approaches and more advanced, specialized treatments of the subject. It imparts a basic understanding of the fundamentals, applies these fundamentals to solve analytically a spectrum of engineering problems, and introduces advanced topics of mechanics of materials - including fracture mechanics, creep, superplasticity, fiber reinforced composites, powder compacts, and porous solids. The authors take an analytical approach to the subject, essential for handling modern numerical methods. They provide generous explanations, systematic derivations, and detailed discussions, supplemented by a variety of problems and solved examples.
