Substantially extended revision of the highly successful first edition, covering the behaviour of solid bodies under load. Components considered in detail include beams, shafts, cylinders, struts, diaphragms and springs. The theories of elastic failure, 2 and 3 dimensional stress and strain systems, post yield behaviour and experimental stress analysis techniques are also extensively covered. The second edition contains important new chapters on fatigue, creep and fracture, and on contact stresses, residual stresses and stress concentrations. Contains a large number of worked examples (150) and problems (500).

Mechanics of Materials: An Introduction to the Mechanics of Elastic and Plastic Deformation of Solids and Structural Components, Second Edition, Volume 2 covers the typical components of mechanics of materials, including beams, shafts, cylinders, struts, diaphragms, and springs. The study of mechanics of materials is the study of the behavior of solid bodies under load. This book is divided into 11 chapters and begins with the principles of unsymmetrical bending, struts, and the strains beyond the elastic limit. The succeeding chapters deal with other components of materials mechanics, such as rings, discs, cylinders, and torsion of non-circular and thin-walled sections. These topics are followed by reviews of experimental stress analysis, circular plates, diaphragms, and an introduction to the advanced elasticity theory. The final chapters examine contact and residual stresses, stress concentrations, fatigue, creep, and fracture. This book will prove useful to students with degree course in mechanics of materials.

Mechanics of Materials, Volume 2, Second Edition (International Series on Materials Science and Technology)

One of the most important subjects for any student of engineering to master is the behaviour of materials and structures under load. The way in which they react to applied forces, the deflections resulting and the stresses and strains set up in the bodies concerned are all vital considerations when designing a mechanical component such that it will not fail under predicted load during its service lifetime. All the essential elements of a treatment of these topics are contained within this course of study, starting with an introduction to the concepts of stress and strain, shear force and bending moments and moving on to the examination of bending, shear and torsion in elements such as beams, cylinders, shells and springs. A simple treatment of complex stress and complex strain leads to a study of the theories of elastic failure and an introduction to the experimental methods of stress and strain analysis. More advanced topics are dealt with in a companion volume - Mechanics of Materials 2. Each chapter contains a summary of the essential formulae which are developed in the chapter, and a large number of worked examples which progress in level of difficulty as the principles are enlarged upon. In addition, each chapter concludes with an extensive selection of problems for solution by the student, mostly examination questions from professional and academic bodies, which are graded according to difficulty and furnished with answers at the end.

One of the most important subjects for any student of engineering or materials to master is the behaviour of materials and structures under load. The way in which they react to applied forces, the deflections resulting and the stresses and strains set up in the bodies concerned are all vital considerations when designing a mechanical component such that it will not fail under predicted load during its service lifetime. Building upon the fundamentals established in the introductory volume Mechanics of Materials 1, this book extends the scope of material covered into more complex areas such as unsymmetrical bending, loading and deflection of struts, rings, discs, cylinders plates, diaphragms and thin walled sections. There is a new treatment of the Finite Element Method of analysis, and more advanced topics such as contact and residual stresses, stress concentrations, fatigue, creep and fracture are also covered. Each chapter contains a summary of the essential formulae which are developed in the chapter, and a large number of worked examples which progress in level of difficulty as the principles are enlarged upon. In addition, each chapter concludes with an extensive selection of problems for solution by the student, mostly examination questions from professional and academic bodies, which are graded according to difficulty and furnished with answers at the end.
