Strength of Materials: An Introduction to the Analysis of Stress and Strain is 22-chapter introductory text to the problems of stress and strain analysis. The first chapters explore the fundamental and basic topics on stress and strain, including tension, compression, pin-jointed frames, joints, and connections. The next chapters consider the application of combined simple direct and shearing stresses in practical situations. Other chapters treat topics on plastic, elastic, and strain, as well as problems of thin-walled tubes in bending and torsion. This text also explores the analytical uses of the principle of virtual work, strain energy, and complementary energy. The last chapters review problems of vibrations and dynamic and impact stresses. This book is directed toward undergraduate engineering students.
Further investigation by Gough and Hanson has revealed that slipbands may be formed at lower stresses than the endurance limit of the material and that they may develop and broaden without leading to the formation of a crack .
This is the first paperback edition of an equally successful text by this highly respected engineer and author.

A Textbook of Strength of Materials: (in S.I. Units)
This book begins with a simple discussion of stresses and strains in materials, structural components, and forms they take in tension, compression, and shear.
For 4 decades, this book has provided engineers with these fundamentals. Thoroughly updated, the book has been expanded to cover everything on materials and structures that engineering students are likely to need.
