The most comprehensive book in its field, Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices, Second Edition is a source of formulas for the analysis and design of structural members and mechanical elements.
* Presents simple formulas, organized by type of member, to permit more complex members to be solved.
* Includes formulas for dynamic response as well as nominal vibration formulas.
* Contains background material on stress and strain, mechanical properties of materials, stress analysis, stress concentration, and fracture and fatigue mechanics.
