Beschreibung:
This textbook provides a conceptual understanding of the theories and formulae. It focuses on basic principles, emphasizing problem solving through a series of tutorials and problems, and encourages both numerical and conceptual approaches -- now including basic plates and shells and plastic deformation, dynamics and portal frames and arches.
Introduction. Axial tension and compression. Torsion. Shear and bending moment. Bending stresses in symmetric beams. Deflection of beams under bending. Complex stresses. Complex strains and strain gauges. Theories of elastic failure. Buckling of columns. Energy method. Bending of thin plates. Impact loads and vibration.
