Revised and updated to include methods and applications now in use throughout the fields of aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering and engineering mechanics, this text offers students and practicing engineers a balanced, thorough treatment of solid mechanics, elasticity, and computer-oriented numerical methods. New to this edition are materials dealing with failure theories, fracture mechanics, compound cylinders, numerical approaches, energy and variational methods, buckling of stepped columns, common shell types, and other topics. Appendices include indicial notation, solution of the stress cubic equation, moments of composite areas, and tables.
