"Well-written, thoughtfully prepared, and profusely illustrated, this text by the prominent experts provides a full exposition of fundamentals of solid mechanics and principles of mechanics, statics, and simple statically indeterminate systems. Additional topics include strain and stress in three-dimensional solids, elementary elasticity, stress-strain relations for plastic solids, and energy principles in solid continuum. "--

Focusing on the conceptual understanding of mechanics, this exciting new text addresses new developments in the methods of analyzing mechanics problems. It fully incorporates the highly sophisticated computational software packages currently available to students. Emphasizing the use of vector mechanics and vector mathematics in its treatment of statics, the book provides transition material to higher level courses, and provides a wealth of problems to foster understanding. All sample problems a...

Engineering Statics presents the cutting-edge topics in engineering statics, focusing on practical applications knowledge, with numerous real-world examples, practice problems, and case studies throughout. It covers theory concisely and uses plain language and coverage that can be completed in a one-semester course. It also covers the related concepts required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. Features: Written in plain language, with numerous realistic step-by-step examples....

VISUAL MECHANICS is a unique, new Java-based Windows/Macintosh software package that consists of a CD-ROM with two programs (called Dr. Beam and Dr. Stress), and a manual with worksheets, exercises, and examples that focus on beam bending and analysis of stress states. The software and supporting instructional materials provide students with hands-on virtual lab that helps them visualize the behavior of beams and conditions of stress, understand mathematical models, and explore mechanics of mate...

An Introduction to the Gas Phase is adapted from a set of lecture notes for a core first year lecture course in physical chemistry taught at the University of Oxford. The book is intended to give a relatively concise introduction to the gas phase at a level suitable for any undergraduate scientist. After defining the gas phase, properties of gases such as temperature, pressure, and volume are discussed. The relationships between these properties are explained at a molecular level, and simple mod...

Discusses papers classified under eight broad areas: bridges/soil structure vibration, vibration under seismic/blast loading, structural system modeling and responses, dynamics in biology, economy and others, tribology, control theory and applications, dynamics and control of multibody systems, composites, MEMS and NEMS and mechanical vibration and control. This book covers most of the directions in dynamics, vibration and control, promoting wide interactions among different academic disciplines...

Focusing on the fundamentals of material statics and strength, Applied Statics and Strength of Materials, Fifth Edition presents a non-Calculus-based, elementary, analytical, and practical approach, with rigorous, comprehensive example problems that follow the explanation of theory and very complete homework problems that allow trainees to practice the material. The goal of the book is to provide readers with the necessary mechanics background for more advanced and specialized areas of study in...

An enhanced eBook published in full colour. Now including extensive interactive content enabling exploration by inserting any values that would occur in a real situation whereby the graphics are redrawn to reflect those changes. Interactive Technology when used in the classroom can motivate passive students by encouraging their active participation where STEM subjects are ideally suited to Mobile Interactive Technology. Students are more likely to be comfortable with technology they understand i...

This book is intended to help the reader understand impact phenomena as a focused application of diverse topics such as rigid body dynamics, structural dynamics, contact and continuum mechanics, shock and vibration, wave propagation and material modelling. It emphasizes the need for a proper assessment of sophisticated experimental/computational tools promoted widely in contemporary design. A unique feature of the book is its presentation of several examples and exercises to aid further understa...

High-pressure science has undergone a revolution in the last 15 years. The development of intense new x-ray and neutron sources, improved detectors, new instrumentation, greatly increased computation power, and advanced computational algorithms have enabled researchers to determine the behavior of matter at static pressures in excess of 400 GPa. Shock-wave techniques have allowed access to the experimental pressure-temperature range beyond 1 TPa and 10,000 K. High-Pressure Physics introduces th...

This book of problems and solutions is a natural continuation of Ilie and Schrecengost's first book Electromagnetism: Problems and Solutions. As with the first book, this book is written for junior or senior undergraduate students, and for graduate students who may have not studied electrodynamics yet and who may want to work on more problems and have an immediate feedback while studying. This book of problems and solutions is a companion for the student who would like to work independently on...
