Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity

by Ansel C. Ugural, Saul K. Fenster

For aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineers. State-of-the-art and practical in perspective, this classic exploration of stress analysis focuses on techniques for analysis in realistic settings. Unusually comprehensive, it provides uniquely balanced coverage of mechanics of materials, theory of elasticity methods, and computer-oriented numerical methods-all supported with a broad range of fully worked-out examples. The Fourth Edition adds/expands coverage of mechanics of materials theory; three-dimensional stress and strain transformations; strain energy in common structural members; stress concentration in typical members; elastic-plastic analysis of thick-walled cylinders; application of strain energy and variational methods to beams on elastic foundations, buckling of columns, and plates; a complete new set of illustrative examples and problems-many taken from engineering practice; and tables covering computer programs for principal stresses and area properties, deflection of b

just handed it down to a friend who'll be taking the course next year. i finished with it last year. didn't read it all, but finished the class. our prof copied from it on the board verbatim, i just highlighted. fairly good derivations of the equations, the steps were clear, but not a lot of problems with actual numbers, which is to be expected of a graduate level book.
overall was good. i think will make a good reference.

good book

this book covers topics such as stress and failure, and provides hands-on experiences with them as well!
