Product Description Comprehensive, accessible, and LOGICAL-an outstanding treatment of elasticity in engineering mechanics Arthur Boresi and Ken Chong's Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics has been prized by many aspiring and practicing engineers as an easy-to-navigate guide to an area of engineering science that is fundamental to aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering, and to other branches of engineering. With its focus not only on elasticity theory but also on concrete applications in real engineering situations, this acclaimed work is a core text in a spectrum of courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and a superior reference for engineering professionals. With more than 200 graphs, charts, and tables, this Second Edition includes: * A complete solutions manual for instructors * Clear explorations of such topics as deformation and stress, stress-strain-temperature relations, plane elasticity with respect to rectangular and polar coordinates, thermal stresses, and end loads * Discussions of deformation and stress treated separately for clarity, with emphasis on both their independence and mathematical similarities * An overview of the mathematical preliminaries to all aspects of elasticity, from stress analysis to vector fields, from the divergence theorem to tensor algebra * Real-world examples and problem sets illustrating the most common elasticity solutions-such as equilibrium equations, the Galerkin vector, and Kelvin's problem * A series of appendixes covering advanced topics such as complex variables and couple-stress theory | ||

Poor Book Lacks worked out examples. Problems often ask qauestions referring to information presented in following chapters. Very poor book | ||
Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics This is good book, starts with a pretty good review on the mathematical foundation you need to continue through it, vector algebra, tensor analysis, calculus of variations, etc. then starts with theory of deformation , theory of stress, three dimesional equations of elasticity, plane theory of elasticity in rectangular cartisian coordinates, etc. As you can see the text begins with the most general theory an carries through a great deal of detail in the derivation of the equations. This is the text book for the AE731 theory of elasticity class in the aerospace department at WSU. I think this is definetely a good book though I would not reccommend its use to an introductory level, this is more for upper level or graduate students because it sometimes gets pretty difficult in the mathematical theory. I am currently using it and I would say you should buy it. Although again a warning, the mathematical level you need sometimes is high but with the review in the first chapter and the help of your instructor is a valuable tool in elasticity in the point of view of grad student. | ||
