INTRODUCTORY CONTINUUM MECHANICS WITH APPLICATIONS TO ELASTICITY REVISED EDITION

ISBN: 9781621314486 Géneros: TGB Sinópsis: Introductory Continuum Mechanics with Applications to Elasticity is a new kind of textbook by combining continuum mechanics with elasticity theory and examples it consolidates two textbooks into one Not only does this save students on traditional book costs but it also naturally blends these related topics into a cohesive bookWith unique examples and problem sets the title also serves as a solid introduction to continuum mechanics and elasticity Developed from years of notes and classroom testing the title is the perfect blend of content multifaceted and challenging but without drowning the readers in complexityTariq Khraishi is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Mexico His research work is in the areas of mechanics and materials science as well as in the scholarship of teaching and learning In particular he has been involved in modeling theoretical and experimental research in biomechanics dislocation dynamics eigenstrain theory and modeling fracture mechanics nanomaterials composites irradiation damage in materials void growth and interaction in superplastic materials heteroepitaxy and stresses in thin films as well as active learning in engineering courses He is a fellow of ASME and has published over 100 refereed works including another textbook on materials scienceengineeringYuLin Shen is currently a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Mexico He received his PhD in engineering from Brown University in 1994 and was a postdoctoral research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the faculty of the University of New Mexico in 1996 Professor Shen is widely recognized for his research in mechanical behavior of materials especially in modeling His numerical modeling experience spans disparate length scales from the continuum level down to atomistics focusing on mechanical issues related to thin films composite mater
