Formulas For Stress, Strain, An Strctural Matric Es Secon Ed.

Description:
The most comprehensive book in its field, Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices, Second Edition is a source of formulas for the analysis and design of structural members and mechanical elements. Presents simple formulas, organized by type of member, to permit more complex members to be solved. Includes formulas for dynamic response as well as nominal vibration formulas. Contains background material on stress and strain, mechanical properties of materials, stress analysis, stress concentration, and fracture and fatigue mechanics.
