Introduction to Mechanics of Solid Materials Summary

Introduction to Mechanics of Solid Materials by Lallit Anand (Warren and Towneley Rohsenow Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Warren and Towneley Rohsenow Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

Introduction to Mechanics of Solid Materials is concerned with the deformation, flow, and fracture of solid materials. This textbook offers a unified presentation of the major concepts in Solid Mechanics for junior/senior-level undergraduate students in the many branches of engineering - mechanical, materials, civil, and aeronautical engineering among others. The book begins by covering the basics of kinematics and strain, and stress and equilibrium, followed by a coverage of the small deformation theories for different types of material response: (i) Elasticity; (ii) Plasticity and Creep; (iii) Fracture and Fatigue; and (iv) Viscoelasticity. The book has additional chapters covering the important material classes of: (v) Rubber Elasticity, and (vi) Continuous-fiber laminated composites. The text includes numerous examples to aid the student. A substantial companion volume with example problems is available free of charge on the book's companion website.

Introduction to Mechanics of Solid Materials Reviews

The book is well-crafted and organized logically. It fills a void in need for a book that is lucid and accessible to undergraduates taking a course in advanced mechanics of materials. The material covered spans a whole range of topics relevant to modern applications of solid mechanics, including fracture and fatigue, rubber elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, and fiber-reinforced composites. This is an excellent book authored by leading authorities in the field who have taught this course at their respective universities. The companion book on example problems is a welcome addition. * Ravi Ravichandran, Caltech *
This book is of the highest technical quality and maintains clarity for understanding. It covers a wide range of relevant topics for the undergraduate student in mechanics of solid materials and with a well thought out level of depth per topic. A notable feature of this book is that the authors are able to summarize the main ideas in easy to digest modules that give the student a sense of the topic... This book does a great job at bringing a fresh set of ideas into the undergraduate curriculum and therefore will find a wide audience with upper level undergraduates all over the world. * Shawn A. Chester, New Jersey Institute of Technology *
This book covers at the right level of detail most of the important topics in solid mechanics including fracture, fatigue, viscoelasticity, composites, rubbers, etc., that are important in modern applications. * Prashant K. Purohit, University of Pennsylvania *
The text is written with the required rigor to address the topics therein, while ensuring that the mathematics and surrounding prose is appealing to the intended target audience. * Dr Brian Mercer, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign *
