The main aim of this book is to demonstrate the fundamental theory of advanced solid mechanics through simplified derivations with details illustrations to deliver the principal concepts. It covers all conceptual principals on two- and three-dimensional stresses, strains, stress-strain relations, theory of elasticity and theory of plasticity in any type of solid materials including anisotropic, orthotropic, homogenous and isotropic. Detailed explanation and clear diagrams and drawings are accompanied with the use of proper jargons and notations to present the ideas and appropriate guide the readers to explore the core of the advanced solid mechanics backed by case studies and examples. Aimed at undergraduate, senior undergraduate students in advanced solid mechanics, solid mechanics, strength of materials, civil/mechanical engineering, this book Provides simplified explanation and detailed derivation of correlation and formula implemented in advanced solid mechanics Covers state of two and three-dimensional stresses and strains in solid materials in various conditions Describes principal constitutive models for various type of materials include of anisotropic, orthotropic, homogenous and isotropic materials. Includes stress-strain relation and theory of elasticity for solid materials. Explores inelastic behaviour of material, theory of plasticity and yielding criteria.

Die Parker/Ambrose Reihe der 'Simplified Design Guides' bietet nun schon seit über 70 Jahren einfache und präzise Lösungen zu allgemeinen Problemen im Bereich Konstruktions- und Umweltdesign. Jetzt neu in der 6. komplett überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Auflage. Dieser Band konzentriert sich vornehmlich darauf, wie Bauwerke und ihre Baumaterialien sich verhalten, wenn verschiedene Kräften auf sie einwirken. Mit neuen Abschnitten zur Analyse statisch unbestimmter Konstruktionen und zum Materialverhalten von Konstruktionen. Der neue Schwerpunkt liegt verstärkt auf grundlegenden Themen und weniger auf der Mathematik. Erfordert nur ein Minimum an mathematischen Vorkenntnissen. Mit aktualisierter Code- und Technologieinformation. Noch anschaulicher durch mehr Abbildungen.

The sixth edition of the book has thoroughly been modified and enlarged to meet the revised syllabi of many universities and other professional examination like AMIE and above all to incorporate the suggestions received from the students and faculty a like. Additional problems on two-dimensional complex stress systems have been fully solved by both analytical and Mohr'circlem method so that the readers are made aware of the face that the sign shear stress on a particular plane has its one important role to play so as arrive at the correct result which otherwise is normally overlooked or even sometimes neglected. The term " bending Moment" and "twisting Moment" have been introduced as vector quantities in order to bring out the difference between them so that the reader can easily decipher each of them and proceed ahead to accomplish the associated objectives. The chapter on Thick Cylinders had been re-written to keep uniformity in sign convention of the stresses throughout the entire text. Further in this chapter the process of auto frettage of a thick cylinder has been introduced along with the "Simplified" theory of this process. The author has endeavored to familiarize the readers with the "Yield point phenomenon of low carbon steel". "quantitative definitions of ductility and malleability" and "Negative Possions Ratio" Which were hitherto not dealt with in most of the text on the subject. On the specific demand of the students almost all the chapter have been supplemented with objective type questions along with more number of worked examples.

This 2003 book relates the strength characteristics of constituent atoms to the electronic structures. It begins with short reviews of classical and quantum mechanics followed by reviews of the three major branches of the strength of materials: elastic stiffnesses; plastic responses; and the nature of fracture.

This is a textbook for courses in civil and mechanical engineering that are commonly called Strength of Materials or Mechanics of Materials. The intent of this book is to provide a background in the mechanics of solids for students of mechanical engineering, while limiting the information on why materials behave as they do. It is assumed that the students have already had courses covering materials science and basic statics. Much of the material is drawn from another book by the author, Mechanical Behavior of Materials. To make the text suitable for mechanical engineers, the chapters on slip, dislocations, twinning, residual stresses, and hardening mechanisms have been eliminated and the treatment of ductility viscoelasticity, creep, ceramics, and polymers has been simplified.
