Strength of Materials

Strength of Materials, Third Edition is ideal for students pursuing degrees in civil and mechanical engineering, as well as computer science, electronics, and instrumentation. Topics include combined stresses, centroid and the moment of inertia, shear forces and bending moments in beams, stresses in beams, the deflection of beams, torsion of circular members, springs, strain energy, the theory of elastic failure, buckling of columns, pressure vessels, and the analysis of framed structures.
