Casual [Wiley] Mechanics Of Materials Dummies

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 Dummies gives you a thorough introduction to this foundational subject. You'll get clear, plainEnglish explanations of all the topics covered, including principles of equilibrium, geometric compatibility, and material behavior; stress and its relation to ce and movement; strain and its relation to displacement; elasticity and plasticity; fatigue and fracture; failure modes; application to simple engineering structures, and more.
