Stresses in Beams, Plates, and Shells: Theory and Analysis, Fourth Edition (Applied and Computational Mechanics) - Hardcover

Ugural's book thoroughly explains how stresses in beam, plate, and shell structures can be predicted and analyzed.

―Mechanical Engineering, Vol. 132, No. 6, June 2010

Noted for its practical, student-friendly approach to graduate-level mechanics, this volume is considered one of the top references―for students or professioals―on the subject of elasticity and stress in construction. The author presents many examples and applications to review and support several foundational concepts. The more advanced concepts in elasticity and stress are analyzed and introduced gradually, accompanied by even more examples and engineering applications in addition to numerous illustrations.Chapter problems are carefully arranged from the basic to the more challenging. The author covers computer methods, including FEA and computational/equation-solving software, and, in many cases, classical and numerical/computer approaches.
