The fifth edition of Applied Strength of Materials addresses the need for a versatile textbook that offers readers a solid foundation in the principles of the mechanics of materials. With strong emphasis on the fundamentals of the field, integrated with current and flexible approaches to applications of engineering principles and specially prepared software, this best-selling text consistently claims outstanding appeal from both instructors and students in mechanical, civil, construction, architecture, industrial and manufacturing programs.
Additions to this text include the following :
An enhanced visual experience with improved realism in illustrations.
An expanded and updated Appendix that includes more metric data for commercially available beam sections, as well as additional data for mechanical tubing and plastics, nickel alloys, titanium and structural steels. The readability of beam deflection tables has also been enhanced substantially.
Activities at the beginning of each chapter to give instructors and students hands-on experience for the phenomena discussed. This new feature complements The Big Picture, a popular section from previous editions.
Two types of expertly designed software to help students learn important and fundamental concepts :
– Animated review modules with attractive colour graphics and dynamic images, which guide students through the review of complex topics and their application to typical problems.
– Problem-solving software that amplifies and reinforces topics covered in the text, including the results of finite element analysis models.
A beam analysis program to allow students to analyze beam-loading applications for typical problems without the need for extensive laboratory equipment.ISBN 9788120339019
