เนื้อหาย่อ : This book provides a systematic, modern introduction to solid mechanics that is carefully motivated by realistic engineering applications. Based on his many years of teaching experience, the author uses a wealth of examples and a rich set of problems to build the reader's understanding of the scientific principles, without requiring 'higher mathematics' Highlights of the book include: An overall presentation of the subject with emphasis on basic unifying concepts. Development of the subject, starting from basic principles, with a rigorous delineation between assumptions and fundamental conclusions. Comprehensive coverage, including topics such as the behaviour of materials on a phenomenological level. An extensive number of worked examples found in engineering practice followed by explanations of the results, thus enabling the reader to develop an understanding of the relevant problems. Over 600 problems, many of which are designed for solving with MATLAB, MAPLE or MATHEMATICA. Solid Mechanics in Engineering is designed for courses in Solid Mechanics or Strength of Materials taken by students in Mechanical, Civil or Aeronautical Engineering and Materials Science and may also be used for a first-year graduate program. Raymond Parnes is a Professor in the Department of Solid Mechanics, Materials and Systems of Tel-Aviv University. A graduate of Columbia University, in addition to his industrial experience as Senior Structural Engineer, he has over 25 years experience of teaching the subject in the United States, Europe and Israel and has published extensively in a broad spectrum of subjects in Solid Mechanics.
