  • Mechanics of Materials Volume 1

    An Introduction to the Mechanics of Elastic and Plastic Deformation of Solids and Structural Materials

    by E.J. Hearn ...
    One of the most important subjects for any student of engineering to master is the behaviour of materials and structures under load. The way in which they react to applied forces, the deflections resulting and the stresses and strains set up in the bodies concerned are all vital considerations when designing a mechanical component such that it will not fail under predicted load during its service ...

  • Soil Mechanics

    A One-Dimensional Introduction

    by David Muir Wood ...
    This book teaches the principles of soil mechanics to undergraduates, along with other properties of engineering materials, to which the students are exposed simultaneously. Using the critical state method of soil mechanics to study the mechanical behavior of soils requires the student to consider density alongside effective stresses, permitting the unification of deformation and strength ...

  • Direct Methods for Limit States in Structures and Materials

    Edited by Konstantinos Spiliopoulos, Dieter Weichert ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Knowing the safety factor for limit states such as plastic collapse, low cycle fatigue or ratcheting is always a major design consideration for civil and mechanical engineering structures that are subjected to loads. Direct methods of limit or shakedown analysis that proceed to directly find the limit states offer a better alternative than exact time-stepping calculations as, on one hand, an exact ... Read more
