by James H. Allen
From the rear cover
Your ticket to excelling in mechanics of materials
Mechanics of Materials For Dummies gives you plain-English explanations of all the topics you'll encounter in a typical undergraduate course, including principles of equilibrium, geometric compatibility, and material behavior; stress and its relation to force and movement; strain and its relation to displacement; and methods for calculating deformations and indeterminate systems.
- Brush up on basics -- get a quick refresher on math and units, a brief review of essential statics topics, and an easy-to-follow introduction to mechanics of materials
- Sharpen your skills -- find out which skills you need to master, including section property calculations, internal force diagrams, and how to locate the centroid of an area
- Stop stressing -- get the 411 on the basic types of stress, grasp the difference between average stress and stress at a point, and learn to transform stresses to find principal values and angles
- Strain for more -- discover how objects deform in response to strain, how you compute maximum and minimum strain values, and how to determine strain orientation within an object
- Compute displacements -- explore different ways to compute deformations of objects under loads for both statically determinate and indeterminate systems
Open the book and find:
- How to use mechanics to understand material behavior
- Methods for calculating stresses and strains
- Basic torsion theory
- How to calculate deformations, displacements, and angles of twist
- How to solve indeterminate systems and composite materials problems
- Mohr's circle for transformations
- Hooke's law for stress and strain
