Description
The ability of a structural assembly to carry loads and forces determines how stable it will be over time. Viewing structural assemblages
as comprising columns, beams, arches, rings, and plates, this book will introduce the student to both a classical and advanced understanding
of the mechanical behavior of such structural systems under load and how modeling the resulting strains can predict the overall future
performance?the stability?of that structure. While covering traditional beam theory, the book is more focused on elastica theory in
keeping with modern approaches. This text will be an expanded and updated version a similar, previously published book, but with pedagogical
improvements and updated analytical methods.
This engineering textbook will provide a focused treatment on the study of how structures
behave and perform when under stress loading, including plastic deformation and buckling. All advanced engineering students studying
engineering mechanics, structural analysis and design, fatigue and failure, and other related subjects need to have this knowledge, and
this book will provide it in a thorough and coherent fashion. Written by two of the world?s leading engineering professors in this subject
area, the pedagogy has been classroom-tested over many years and should find a receptive readership among both students and instructors.

?Upper Undergraduate and First-year Graduate students in Mechanical, Civil, and Aerospace Engineering
?Students in Materials Engineering, Solid Mechanics, Engineering Mechanics
