Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Weak Binding! Comment: While the intellectual content of this book seems to be up to par, the book itself is very poorly made. Within a few occurrences of rather light use, the binding has already started to come apart! Customer Rating: Summary: Complex Comment: Like others I have found this book rather complex. It's examples are often long and tedious and leave a lot of steps and derivations to the reader. Understanding it requires a very strong maths background. I'm using it for a fourth year university subject. After completing a pre-requisite stress analysis subject, I find the jump between Mechanics of Materials (Hibbeler) to this book a rather large one. Customer Rating: Summary: An advanced text Comment: Make sure that you keep your deformable solids book because this book does not contain any of the basics for reference. Customer Rating: Summary: Composite Beams in Bending Comment: Well, I have lots of book and this is one of the books I have in my bookshelf. Obviously I have not read the entire book but I did of course read pages from 302 to 309. I was particularly interested in Composite Beams in Bending and those 7 pages did help me. I am not sure if there were any errors in the mathematical calculations as noted by some earlier reviewer but these 7 pages looked okay to me. www.freesoftware.com.my Customer Rating: Summary: Extremely Complete and Thorough Comment: Mathematical derivations are VERY complete and relatively straight forward. There is a TON of material covered, and I constantly refer back to it in my graduate-level Mechancial Engr. courses. - even F.E.M. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This book provides a broad and comprehensive coverage of the theoretical, experimental, and numerical techniques employed in the field of stress analysis. Designed to provide a clear transition from the topics of elementary to advanced mechanics of materials. Its broad range of coverage allows instructors to easily select many different topics for use in one or more courses. The highly readable writing style and mathematical clarity of the first edition are continued in this edition. Major revisions in this edition include: an expanded coverage of three-dimensional stress/strain transformations; additional topics from the theory of elasticity; examples and problems which test the mastery of the prerequisite elementary topics; clarified and additional topics from advanced mechanics of materials; new sections on fracture mechanics and structural stability; a completely rewritten chapter on the finite element method; a new chapter on finite element modeling techniques employed in practice when using commercial FEM software; and a significant increase in the number of end of chapter exercise problems some of which are oriented towards computer applications.
