ISBN: 0123838525 ISBN-13: 9780123838520 Publisher: Academic Press OUR PRICE: $118.80 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: March 2005 Annotation: This new book is the first to bridge the often disparate bodies of knowledge now known as applied mechanics and materials science. Using a very methodological process to introduce mechanics, materials, and design issues in a manner called "total structural design," this book seeks a solution in "total design space" Features of the text include: * A generalized design template for solving structural design problems. * Every chapter first introduces mechanics concepts through deformation, equilibrium, and energy considerations. Then the constitutive nature of the chapter topic is presented, followed by a link between mechanics and materials concepts. Details of analysis and materials selection are subsequently discussed. * A concluding example design problem is provided in most chapters, so that students may get a sense of how mechanics and materials come together in the design of a real structure. * Exercises are provided that are germane to aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering applications, and include both deterministic and design-type problems. * Accompanying website contains a wealth of information complementary to this text, including a set of virtual labs. Separate site areas are available for the instructor and students. *Combines theories of solid mechanics, materials science and structural design in one coherent text/reference *Covers physical scales from the atomistic to continuum mechanics *Offers a generalized structural design template |
