Mechanics of Solids and Structures - Roger T. (Imperial College London Fenner - Bog

A revision of a popular textbook, this volume emphasizes the development of analysis techniques from basic principles for a broad range of practical problems, including simple structures, pressure vessels, beams, and shafts. The book integrates numerical and computer techniques with programs for carrying out analyses, facilitating design, and solving the problems found at the end of each chapter. It also presents the underlying theory and traditional manual solution methods along with these techniques. This second edition covers relationships between stress and strain, torsion, statically determinate systems, instability of struts and columns, and compatibility equations.
