Essentials of Mechanical Stress Analysis for Design Engineers, 2nd Edition

A structural/solid mechanics book written for engineering professionals and students in Mechanical, Structural, Civil, Materials and Aerospace engineering. Developed with stress analysts handling multidisciplinary subjects in mind. The book is written to provide the theories needed for problem solving and stress analysis on structural systems. Essentials of Mechanical Stress Analysis for Design Engineers presents a variety of relevant topics-normally offered as individual course topics-that are crucial for carrying out the analysis of structures. This work explores concepts through both theory and numerical examples simultaneously. The book covers the analytical and numerical approaches to stress analysis and machine design. Isotropic, metallic, and orthotropic composite material analysis are presented.

The book covers important topics of strength analysis which also includes MathCAD simulation examples. Strength of deformable bodies, fatigue, buckling, structural analysis (FEM), beam theory and plate analysis are some of the topics covered in this book. The book is written in a very fluent and easy-to-read format. It's a must have book as a reference.

Solutions manual is available for qualified instructors at CRC Press.

Book Features:

Essentials of Mechanical Stress Analysis, updated for the second edition, covers stress analysis from an interdisciplinary perspective. Discussing techniques and theories essential to analysing structures, it covers both analytical and numerical approaches.

The second edition adds new topics and updates research to follow current advances in the field. New sections on material properties, composite materials and finite element analysis enable the reader to further establish the fundamental theory behind material behaviour, and the causes of stress and strain. Also covering beams, plates, columns and elastic instability, the book discusses fatigue, life cycle, energy methods and MathCAD sample code.

As a clear and comprehensive guide to stress and structural analysis, this book is relevant to students and scholars in the fields of mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering, as well as material science.
