Informationen zum Autor RAYMOND PARNES is a Professor in the Department of Solid Mechanics, Materials and Structures in Tel-Aviv University. A graduate of Columbia University, he has over 25 years experience of teaching the subject in the United States, Europe and Israel and has published extensively in a variety of subjects in Solid Mechanics. Klappentext This book provides a systematic, modern introduction to solid mechanics that is carefully motivated by realistic Engineering applications. Based on 25 years of teaching experience, Raymond Parnes uses a wealth of examples and a rich set of problems to build the reader's understanding of the scientific principles, without requiring ¿higher mathematics¿. Highlights of the book include * The use of modern SI units throughout * A thorough presentation of the subject stressing basic unifying concepts * Comprehensive coverage, including topics such as the behaviour of materials on a phenomenological level. * Over 600 problems, many of which are designed for solving with MATLAB, MAPLE or MATHEMATICA. Solid Mechanics in Engineering is designed for 2-semester courses in Solid Mechanics or Strength of Materials taken by students in Mechanical, Civil or Aeronautical Engineering and Materials Science and may also be used for a first-year graduate program. Zusammenfassung This book provides a systematic, modern introduction to solid mechanics that is carefully motivated by realistic Engineering applications. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface.
