Description
Your ticket to excelling in mechanics of materials Mechanics of Materials For Dummies gives you plain-English explanations of all the topics you'll encounter in a typical undergraduate course, including principles of equilibrium, geometric compatibility, and material behavior; stress and its relation to force and movement; strain and its relation to displacement; and methods for calculating deformations and indeterminate systems. - Brush up on basics - get a quick refresher on math and units, a brief review of essential statics topics, and an easy-to-follow introduction to mechanics of materials - Sharpen your skills - find out which skills you need to master, including section property calculations, internal force diagrams, and how to locate the centroid of an area - Stop stressing - get the 411 on the basic types of stress, grasp the difference between average stress and stress at a point, and learn to transform stresses to find principal values and angles - Strain for more - discover how objects deform in response to strain, how you compute maximum and minimum strain values, and how to determine strain orientation within an object - Compute displacements - explore different ways to compute deformations of objects under loads for both statically determinate and indeterminate systems Open the book and find: - How to use mechanics to understand material behavior - Methods for calculating stresses and strains - Basic torsion theory - How to calculate deformations, displacements, and angles of twist - How to solve indeterminate systems and composite materials problems - Mohr's circle for transformations - Hooke's law for stress and strain
