DESCRIPTION:
"Great Reference" according to Kyle Hunt. This is the most extensive/useful book on Elastic Stability I've ever read. It covers an incredibly wide range of stability problems; Beams, Columns, Plates, Tubes, elastic foundations, etc.I wouldn't recommend this as your very first introduction to the world of buckling. But if you're a structural engineer of any kind, buy this book, you won't be disappointed.. A more detailed review According to one review that I've read so far, there is some truth to a certain extent. Yes, the book does not have example problems, but at the same time this book is probably not the best choice to teach an undergrad class. Timoshenko is a classic, it shows all the mathematical derivations and the theoretical fundamentals. Students usually do not appeal to tha. jraquet@technologist.com said An extensive look at elastic stability. This book covers most of the major topics related to elastic stability in structural members. Our professor stated that this was more of a "guide book" than a text book and I do agree. There is a noticeable lack of examples which could be used to transition to valid applications. But if you are looking for theory relating to the elastic stability of most structu
Relevant to aspects of civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, this classic covers the essentials of static and dynamic instabilities.Topics range from theoretical explanations of 2- and 3-D stress and strain to practical applications such as torsion, bending, thermal stress, and wave propagation through solids. Timoshenko. It was co-authored by the father of modern engineering mechanics, Stephen Timoshenko, and James Gere, who updated the materials and worked closely with Dr. Additional subjects include beam columns, curved bars and arches, buckling of rings, and experiments and design formulas. Particularly suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of engineering, this vo
