With its companion volume of solved example problems, it is an invaluable class textbook or reference for personal study or review.\u003cbr\u003eWith the aid of computer simulations, design engineers can predict stresses, deformation, and failure in structural, mechanical, and bio-mechanical components with a few keystrokes. But simulations are built on sophisticated mathematics, physics, and numerical methods, and always involve some judicious approximations. Engineers need a thorough grasp of these concepts to know how to set up their simulations correctly and to interpret their predictions. This book contains all the theory they need to make the best use of their simulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSolved Problems in Mechanics of Solids: \u003c\/b\u003eThe best way to learn the physical sciences and mathematics is to dive in and start solving problems. With this in mind, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSolved Problems in Mechanics of Solids\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e offers a large number of example problems that are designed to help students and practicing engineers learn to predict stresses and deformation in solids that are subjected to mechanical or thermal loading. The book will also be useful for instructors who are looking for worked examples to use in lectures or assignments. The book is intended to be used as a companion volume to A.F. Bower's \"Applied Mechanics of Solids,\" 2nd ed. CRC press, Boca Raton FL (2025). The chapter headings and sub-sections are identical in both volumes, and every topic covered in the main text has a set of relevant worked examples in this book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe problem sets and their solutions cover background mathematics; the physical and mathematical laws that govern deformation in solids; models of material behavior; solutions to boundary value problems using classical methods of analysis; finite element analysis (including a set of tutorial style problems that can be solved with the 'learning edition' of the commercial finite element code ABAQUS(R)); finite element coding; fracture mechanics and failure analysis; as well as structural theories of rods, plates and shells.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47836204761239,"sku":"9781041237204","price":19352.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781041237204.webp?v=1779268990","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/applied-mechanics-of-solids-9781041237204","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
