This is a broad based text in solid mechanics and structures in which worked examples and exercises are the main learning features. It emphasises those principles of mechanics that are common to traditionally different engineering disciplines including mechanical, civil, materials, and aeronautical engineering. The theme is directed to understanding the load carrying capacity of materials and structures used in engineering design and involves considerations on the choice of material, its physical shape, the manner in which it becomes stressed and how long it can be expected to sustain that loading.

<p>Written with the aim of broadening the subject base, this book focuses on those areas where topics in mechnaical, aeronautical and civil engineering employ common principles. Theoretical topics in solid mechanics are illustrated through many worked examples and exercises chosen to assist the reader in recognising the necessary problem solving techniques. The book is therefore suitable for both single discipline and broad-based courses that include mechanics as applied in engineering and design. The underlying theme is to show how the load carrying capacity of materials and structures used in engineering may be determined.</p>

Books in the Living with ... series offer positive strategies to combat common medical and psychological problems. Causes and symptoms are explained and the various treatments - both physical and psychological - are discussed in detail. Each book is written in clear terms by professionals working in the relevant field and each provides essential reading for both sufferers and carers alike.Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a common and distressing problem for which there is little effective drug treatment available. However tinnitus can be overcome without drugs.Clinical psychologists, David Rees and Simon Smith provide a practical self-help guide to help sufferers learn to live with the noises in their heads. The book provides a positive and active approach to combating the many problems tinnitus causes. The reader is encouraged to tackle these by assessing each problem area and using the tried and tested solutions offered.Illustrated throughout with case study examples taken from the authors' own clinical experience, this guide demonstrates that tinnitus is not a condition that has to be put up with, and shows how it can be overcome.Written for tinnitus sufferers, this book will also be a useful source of up to date information and a guide to therapeutic intervention for doctors and audiological technicians.

This work is written with the intention of helping people suffering from tinnitus and their families. The introductory chapter presents factual information about the condition, its causes, prevalence and treatment and discusses sufferers' common initial reactions to developing it. There are innumerable myths and misunderstandings about tinnitus and one of the aims of the book is to encourage better knowledge of the condition. The remainder of the book goes on to cover the psychological consequences of having tinnitus and to encourage the reader to assess how much the condition will affect his or her daily life.
