Synopsis

This text is the primary recommendation of the UK Engineering Council Faculty of Technology to all British universities as of approved standard and quality for use as a text for the Board's own examinations. It introduces the fundamental concepts and principles of statics and stress analysis as the essential reading for first year engineering students. Worked examples from the authors experience reinforce comprehension of key concepts. Tutorial solutions with explanation in extended detail have been provided for students. Key elements include: use of free-body diagrams to help problem solving; coverage of composite materials; torsion of circular and non-circular sections; and the matrix-displacement method.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Mechanics of Solids introduces the fundamental concepts and principles of statics and stress analysis. The mathematics is at all times kept as straight forward as possible, with worked examples used to reinforce understanding of key concepts. This text therefore applies the concepts and principles introduced to a large number of practical problems that do no require computers.
