Ebook: Engineering Mechanics: Stresses, Strains, Displacements

From the reviews:

"This is the second of two volumes … by Hartsuijker and Welleman (both, Dolft Univ. of Technology). … The concepts and applications are well presented; applications include both basic and advanced levels. The worked out examples nicely illustrate concepts. Figures and tables are clear and help understanding of the concepts. … In summary, the book is very well written and is a welcome addition to the literature of engineering mechanics. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals." (M. G. Prasad, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008)

An essential text for students in disciplines ranging from structural mechanics to aerospace engineering, this is a systematic and clearly laid out text on structural and continuum mechanics.

Containing hundreds of diagrams, drawings and examples, this work dovetails theoretical developments and figures in a beautifully conceived treatment of the subject.

All theoretical developments are presented both in the text and by means of an extensive set of figures.

The book also covers stresses and strains in simple elements subjected to extension, bending, shear and torsion.

For elementary structures such as trusses, beams and frames, simple load displacements are obtained using both classical mathematics descriptions with differential equations, and engineering methods such as Williot diagrams for (simple) trusses and "forget-me-nots" and moment-area formulae for bending.

You’ll find here an exhaustive mine of information on the subject, with all the material logically and systematically ordered, making this an ideal text for home study as well as a superb complement to a university course.
