With roots in physics and mathematics, engineering mechanics is
the basis of all the mechanical sciences: civil engineering,
materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, and
aeronautical and aerospace engineering.
Tracking a typical undergraduate course, Mechanics of
Materials For Dummies gives you a thorough introduction to this
foundational subject. You'll get clear, plain-English explanations
of all the topics covered, including principles of equilibrium,
geometric compatibility, and material behavior; stress and its
relation to force and movement; strain and its relation to
displacement; elasticity and plasticity; fatigue and fracture;
failure modes; application to simple engineering structures, and
more.
From geometric principles to solving complex equations,
Mechanics of Materials For Dummies is an invaluable resource
for engineering students!
