Evolving from more than 30 years of research and teaching experience, Principles of Solid Mechanics offers an in-depth treatment of the application of the full-range theory of deformable solids for analysis and design. Unlike other texts, it is not either a civil or mechanical engineering text, but both. It treats not only analysis but incorporates

Linear Free Fields. 2D Solutions for Straight and Circular Beams. Ring, Holes and Inverse Problems. Wedges; the Half-Space and Related Problems. Torsion. Some 3D Solutions. One-Dimensional Plasticity for Design. Slip-Line Analysis. Summary - Elasto-Plastic Design of Bearing Plates.
