Advanced Mechanics of Materials (International Edition) - Softcover
Students sometimes think of the different chapters in a solid mechanics text as a sequence of unrelated topics. Advanced Mechanics of Materials unifies these topics by providing a consistent, chapter by chapter treatment of theory that stresses the basic ideas of equilibrium, deformation, and material behavior. The author's approach helps students see the relationship between various classes of problems treated in different chapters. Bickford's development of the finite element method in chapter Two, and its application in several of the later chapters, is a unique and welcome approach in this new text. Numerous clear and easy to follow examples are included to illustrate the application of the theory to practical problems.

Advanced Mechanics of Materials, by William B. Bickford, is the first book in its field to demonstrate the relationship of advanced topics in mechanics of materials in a consistent manner. Other books on the subject present the mechanics of materials as a collection of unrelated topics. Using superior explanations and pedagogy, Dr. Bickford provides the engineer with a book they can use to relate theory to practice.
Features:- employs a consistent chapter-by-chapter treatment stressing the basic ideas of equilibrium, deformation, and material behavior
- develops the finite element method in Chapter 2 and integrates finite element applications in several later chapters
- provides numerous worked examples throughout the text to illustrate the application of theory to practical problems
- provides instructors with a solutions manual for all the problems in the text
