Mechanics of materials Seventh edition

by James M. Gere / Barry J. Goodno (Author)

Mechanics of materials Seventh edition is a basic engineering subject that must be understood by anyone concerned with the strength and physical performance of structures, whether those structures are man-made or natural.

The subject matter includes such fundamental concepts as stresses and strains, deformations and displacements, elasticity and inelasticity, strain energy, and load-carrying capacity.

These concepts underlie the design and analysis of a huge variety of mechanical and structural systems in Mechanics of materials Seventh edition.

At the college level, Mechanics of materials Seventh edition is usually taught during the sophomore and junior years.

The subject is required for most students majoring in mechanical, structural, civil, biomedical, aeronautical, and aerospace engineering.

Furthermore, many students from such diverse fields as materials science, industrial engineering, architecture, and agricultural engineering also find it useful to study this subject.

The main topics covered in Mechanics of materials Seventh edition are the analysis and design of structural

members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, and bending, including the fundamental concepts mentioned in the first paragraph.

Other topics of general interest are the transformations of stress and strain, combined loadings, stress concentrations, deflections of beams, and stability of columns.

The main topics covered in this book are the analysis and design of structural members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, and bending, including the fundamental concepts mentioned in the first paragraph.
