Statics of Deformable Solids Author:Raymond L. Bisplinghoff, James W. Marr, Theodore H.H. Pian This hardcover edition is divided into two parts: Chapters 1-4 provide a full exposition of the fundamentals of solid mechanics, the principles of mechanics, statics and simple statically indeterminate systems; Chapters 5-9 deal with strain and stress in three-dimensional solids, elementary elasticity, stress-strain relations for plastic solids ... more »and energy principles in solid continuum. Theory is emphasized and the book takes a broad point of view, introducing general treatments of three-dimensional continua prior to analysis of simple structural elements. Through the use of vectors and tensors, such topics as force equilibrium, analysis of stress and strain, the role of compatibility and the stress-strain relations are taught with efficiency and clarity.
