Beschreibung:
Noted for its practical, student-friendly approach to graduate-level mechanics, this volume is considered one of the top references-for students or professioals-on the subject of elasticity and stress in construction. The author presents many examples and applications to review and support several foundational concepts. The more advanced concepts i
