Description

This book is the first to bridge the often disparate bodies of knowledge now known as applied mechanics and materials science.

Using a very methodological process to introduce mechanics, materials, and design issues in a manner called "total structural design", this book seeks a solution in "total design space" Features include:* A generalized design template for solving structural design problems.

* Every chapter first introduces mechanics concepts through deformation, equilibrium, and energy considerations.

Then the constitutive nature of the chapter topic is presented, followed by a link between mechanics and materials concepts.

Details of analysis and materials selection are subsequently discussed.

* A concluding example design problem is provided in most chapters, so that students may get a sense of how mechanics and materials come together in the design of a real structure.

* Exercises are provided that are germane to aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering applications, and include both deterministic and design-type problems.

* Accompanying website contains a wealth of information complementary to this text, including a set of virtual labs.

Separate site areas are available for the instructor and students.
