Mechanics of Materials

This book is the first to know the mechanics and materials science. Using a very methodological process to create a "total design space", this book is a "total design space". Features include:

* A generalized design template for solving structural design problems.
* Every chapter introduces mechanics concepts through deformation, equilibrium, and energy considerations. Then the constitutive nature of the topic is presented. Details of analysis and materials selection are subsequently discussed.
* A concluding example design problem is provided in a bridge with a real structure.
* Exercises are provided that are germane to aerospace, civil, and mechanical-engineering applications, and include both deterministic and design-type problems.
* Accompanying website contains a wealth of information, including a set of virtual labs. Separate site are available for the instructor and students.

* Combines theories of solid mechanics, materials science and structural design in one coherent text / reference
* Covers physical scales from the atomistic to continuum mechanics
* Offers a generalized structural design template
