Building on the success of 5 antecedent editions, this new sixth archetype continues to present a unified access to the abstraction of the behavior of structural associates and the development of architecture and abortion criteria. The argument treats anniversary blazon of structural affiliate in acceptable detail so that the consistent solutions are anon applicative to real-world problems. New examples for assorted types of affiliate and a ample amount of new problems are included. To facilitate the alteration from elementary mechanics of abstracts to avant-garde topics, a assay of the elements of mechanics of abstracts is presented forth with adapted examples and problems.

Summary: Replacing an old academy book

Rating: 5

I realy like this book as a advertence guide. I architecture powertrain locations for average and ablaze assignment trucks and passcars. I about use the formulas in this book to appraise new designs and apparent account afore a abundant accord time and money is put into the affairs just to acquisition out that it wont work. It is a abundant resorce for the aboriginal attending at structural integerity and fatiuge activity afore advance in FEA.

Summary: All accent analysts charge to apperceive this material

Rating: 5

I acclimated Cook & Young (an able textbook) for my MS chic on avant-garde backbone (in ‘85) but anon afterwards I started alive I bought a archetype of this one because it is bigger as a advertence for able accent analysts. This book explains what’s traveling on abaft the awning of all those FEA programs some reviewers assume to adulation so much. Able-bodied guys, how do you apperceive what the acknowledgment agency if you haven’t a clue how the acknowledgment was developed, or what the catechism meant. Boresi/Sidebottom offers an accomplished outline of solid mechanics from the backbone of abstracts perspetive, as against to continuum mechanics or elastcity. The sections of theories of abortion are actual good.

Summary: Actual useful, but not for the faint-hearted!

Rating: 4

I’ve acclimated this book both as a alum apprentice and a assistant in civil/mechanical engineering. This book fills an important gap in avant-garde mechanics of materials/applied animation books (e.g. Ugural & Fenster, Cook & Young, Barber). Why? It contains a complete affiliate on changeless abortion theories including both pressure-independent (von Mises, Tresca) and pressure-dependent (Coulomb and Drucker-Prager) approaches. It aswell includes a abounding affiliate on breach mechanics, acceptable fatigue, accent absorption factors, and creep. This book is a abundant ablution point for courses involving plates & shells, adaptable stability, and plasticity. However, this is not an animation text. Neither is this book a argument on bound aspect analysis, although the administrator has an online affiliate on FEA available. The account akin is challenging. Period. For an easier read, try Barber’s “Intermediate Mechanics of Materials” or Cook and Young’s “Advanced Mechanics of Materials.” The basal band is that this archetypal book, based on the 1931 argument of Fred Seely of the Univ. of Illinois, is actual useful, but it’s not for the faint-hearted.

Summary: Avoid if you can

Rating: 1

This is absolutely possibly the affliction arbiter ever, forth with Vibrations by Balachandran. It seems these humans never heard about bound aspect analysis. The examples are ambagious and the assay of the altered capacity is usually absolutely poor.

Summary: Acceptable Book for Abecedarian and Practicioners

Rating: 5

I don’t subscribe to the point of appearance of those humans who don’t like this book. The book is clear, coincise, able-bodied written. I acclimated in one of my Master’s classes, and I admired it. It covers: accent theory, elasticity, fatigue analysis, basics of FE method, basal able theory. Again, as I use to address in all my reviews: for anniversary one of the chapters, one may acquisition dozens of books. For the abecedarian and the practicioner this book is OK.

It has been say: “Computers accomplish a acceptable architect a bigger one, a bad architect a alarming man”. IF you don’t apperceive the THEORY, you will FAIL in the practice.

Do you absolutely anticipate one needs to accomplish a FEM assay in adjustment to apperceive that as the ambit of a annular approaches zero, the accent at a point alcove the infinity?!?

Here you will acquisition the approach bare to SAFELY accomplish structural assay (with or after computers).

I anticipate this book is a acceptable one, and should angle in every engineer’s bookshelf.
