This book is dedicated to the essential components of the design process and uses case studies, labs, and group projects to show their application. With explicit guidance, students learn that the design process is a set of procedures that will help them solve engineering problems.
Yousef Haik and Tamer Shahin illustrate the critical steps of the design process, including articulating the problem, market analysis, function analysis, developing concepts, evaluating alternatives, and marketing, while facilitating hands-on learning and teamwork opportunities through labs and class-tested design problems

Composite beam sections come across in various structural engineering problems. For example in buildings floor slab and the beam, in bridges deck slab and the pre-stressed beam.
So when modeling this type of a structure we introduce an offset for the beam element to represent the actual location of the beam in the composite section.
After the analysis we observe that the bending moment in the beam is much less than what we expect.
But we observe an axial force in the beam element.
If we consider the stability of the beam element and the plate the stability is supported by the internal couple created by the axial force too.
So when doing the beam design we should consider this additional moment too.
So the actual design moment is Mz + (Axial Force)*Offset.(Assuming the beam local x is along the beam)

APPLIED SOLID MECHANICS
Much of the world around us, both natural and man-made, is built from and held together by solid materials. Understanding how they behave is the task of solid mechanics, which can in turn be applied to a wide range of areas from earthquake mechanics and the construction industry to biomechanics. The variety of materials (such as metals, rocks, glasses, sand, flesh and bone) and their properties (such as porosity, viscosity, elasticity, plasticity) are reflected by the concepts and techniques needed to understand them, which are a rich mixture of mathematics, physics, experiment and intuition. These are all brought to bear in this distinctive book, which is based on years of experience in research and teaching. Theory is related to practical applications, where surprising phenomena occur and where innovative mathematical methods are needed to understand features such as fracture. Starting from the very simplest situations, based on elementary observations in engineering and physics, models of increasing sophistication are derived and applied. The emphasis is on problem solving and on building an intuitive understanding, rather than on a technical presentation of theoretical topics. The text is complemented by over 100 carefully chosen exercises, and the minimal prerequisites make it an ideal companion for mathematics students taking advanced courses, for those undertaking research in the area or for those working in other disciplines in which solid mechanics plays a crucial role.
