This engineering textbook introduces the principles of mechanics, beginning with the mechanical properties of materials and the effects of axial load, torsion, bending, and transverse shear. It then describes methods for transforming states of stress and strain, determining the load on a column, and computing deflections of beams and shafts. Annotation c.
