Mechanics of materials : an introduction to the mechanics of elastic and plastic deformation of solids and structural materials

One of the most important subjects for any student of engineering or materials to master is the behaviour of materials and structures under load. The way in which they react to applied forces, the deflections resulting and the stresses and strains set up in the bodies concerned are all vital conside...
