Applied Strength of Materials, Sixth Edition by Robert Mott

by Robert L. Mott

This work provides comprehensive coverage of the key topics in strength of materials, with an emphasis on applications, problem solving, and design of structural members, mechanical devices and systems. This edition has been updated and enhanced to include coverage of the latest tools, trends and techniques and to make greater use of example problems. It now provides an extensive introduction to composite materials along with commentary throughout the book on application of composites to various kinds of load carrying members and comparisons/contrasts of composites to traditional structural materials; reflects the continuing development of electronic aids, including computer programming assignments with suggested uses for spreadsheets, equation solving software such as MATLAB, and graphing calculators; and places greater emphasis and consistency on examples and end-of-chapter problems.
