Advanced mechanics of materials
This book is written as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in aerospace,
civil, and mechanical engineering and applied mechanics. It is also intended as a
reference for practitioners. The book contains topics sufficient for two academic semesters
or three quarters. Thus, there is enough variety that instructors of a one-semester course or
one- or two-quarter courses can choose topics of interest to students.
New to this Edition In this sixth edition, we have attempted to thoroughly review the
fifth edition with the intention of clarifying and condensing the presentation, updating
many of the examples and homework problems, and adding selected new topics. In the
face of these additions, we have also attempted to control the growth in size of the book.
Such is a difficult task. Based on a survey of the market, the final chapter, finite element
methods, has been removed from the book and is available at no cost from the book Web
site: http:llwww.wiley.comlcollegelboresi. Those topics that we have retained are presented
with detail and precision, as in previous editions of the book. Throughout the revision process,
the philosophy of previous editions has been maintained. That is, we have attempted
to develop the topics from basic principles so that the applicability and limitations of the
methods are clear. Without an understanding of the underlying principles and assumptions
upon which analysis methods are based, users of those methods may be limited to application
of the methods to known problems. Furthermore, they may not have the necessary
understanding to extend or adapt the theories and developments to their own applications.
Hence, we regard concepts and fundamentals as no less important than application of solution
methods in problem solving.
