Applied Mechanics: An Elementary General Introduction to the Theory of Structures and Machines; With Diagrams, Illustrations, and Examples (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Applied Mechanics (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory guide to the study of structures and machines, setting the basic analytical foundation for engineering design. The author, an esteemed British academic, draws on his expertise to provide readers with a concise and informative overview of the field of applied mechanics. The book begins with the analysis of 'statically determinate' structures - frameworks such as bridges and cranes - where loads are transferred through their members as forces of tension and compression. The author then uses these concepts to introduce an analysis of 'dynamically indeterminate' structures, such as beams and trusses, where forces are transferred internally as bending stresses. This approach gives the reader a deep understanding of the behavior of structures under load, allowing them to analyze and design real-world constructions. The book stands as a valuable introductory text for students of engineering and applied mechanics, offering a lucid explanation of fundamental principles and their application to practical design problems. Its exploration of advanced topics in structural analysis also makes it a useful reference for practicing engineers seeking to expand their knowledge. Through its systematic and comprehensive approach, the book empowers readers to think critically and creatively about the design and analysis of structures and machines, making it an essential companion for any aspiring engineer.
