Advanced Mechanics of Structures / Edition 1

by Demeter G. Fertis

Overview

This work details general theories and reliable analysis techniques for solving real-world problems in linear and non-linear mechanics. This book looks at the structural and mechanical behaviour of components such as beams, frames and plates of both uniform and variable stiffness in terms of both stress and deformation. It also emphasizes the challenging demands of industry. College or university bookstores may order five or more copies at a special student price, available on request from Marcel Dekker, Inc.

Applied Mechanics Review

A textbook for a senior or first-year graduate course in civil, mechanical, or aeronautical engineering departments. Details general theories and reliable analysis techniques for calculating the properties and behavior of the increasingly complex structures, machines, and mechanical components and devices used to restore and renovate the existing infrastructure and to design and construct for coming demands.
