Explores the mechanics of solids and statics as well as the strength of materials and elasticity theory. Features design exercises that encourage creative initiative and systems thinking.
Engineering Mechanics of Solids
Key changes to the second edition include full-color illustrations throughout, web-based computational material, and the addition of a new chapter on the energy methods of structural mechanics.
These methods later developed into finite element method and the plastic analysis approach. The book studies and analyses the most significant concepts and aspects of engineering mechanics for structures.
This book is an invaluable guide for civil engineers needing foundational background and advanced analytical and empirical tools for structural design.
Notations used are as per Indian standard codes. Apart from West Bengal Polytechnic students of civil engineering branch, it is hoped that the students of other states with similar syllabus may also find this book useful.
This work details general theories and reliable analysis techniques for solving real-world problems in linear and non-linear mechanics.
This book provides an introduction to the subject, starting from classic hand-calculation types of analysis and gradually advancing to a systematic form suitable for computer implementation.
The book systematically presents variational principles and methods of analysis for applied elasticity and structural mechanics.
