Applied Mechanics of Solids (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Beginning with a description of the physical and mathematical laws that govern deformation in solids, this text provides a concise, complete introduction to the concepts, analytical techniques, and numerical methods used to analyze deformation, stress, and failure in materials or components. The text presents modern constitutive equations, solutions to important boundary and initial value problems in solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, and the nonlinear theory of deformable rods, membranes, plates, and shells. The author also discusses the use of finite element software for stress analysis. Practice problems and sample computer programs are provided on the author's companion website.

Autorenporträt

Allan Bower is a professor of engineering at Brown University, where he teaches in the undergraduate mechanical engineering program and the graduate program in mechanics of solids. He earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Cambridge and spent a short period on the faculty at Cambridge before joining Brown in 1992. His research involves developing and using computer simulations to model deformation and failure in materials. Applications of interest include modeling wear, plasticity, and contact fatigue between contacting surfaces; fracture in composites and ceramics; and mechanical failure processes in microelectronic circuits.

Rezensionen

"It's an impressive piece of work. It covers an immense amount of material and is well written."
-James R. Barber, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA

"A valuable treatise in mechanics of solids."
-David L. McDowell, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA

"This book is great for materials science and engineering students who are interested in both classic and state-of-the-art materials research. With both in-depth discussion and authoritative summary, it will be widely used in teaching and research in theoretical and computational mechanics of materials."
