This updated edition of the classic Parker/Ambrose guide introduces the basics of applied mechanics and strength of materials by combining clear explanations with fundamental practice exercises. Generously supplemented with more than 250 two- and three-dimensional illustrations, this book emphasizes visualizing concepts rather than rote learning and complex mathematics. Simplified Mechanics and Strength of Materials, Sixth Edition features:
* A study of indeterminate structures and ultimate strength resistance of structures, as well as combined forces and stresses
* Up-to-date code and technology information
* Analysis of trusses, beams, compression members, connectors for structural steel, retaining walls, and rigid frames
* An examination of noncoplanar force systems, stress and deformation, and properties of sections
* Exercise problems, with answers, that emphasize direct problem solving using basic concepts, simple analytical formulas, and logical procedures
Whether used alone or in conjunction with Simplified Engineering for Architects and Builders, Ninth Edition, this book is a fundamental resource for students and professionals in architecture, landscape architecture, construction, and civil engineering.

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures, 2nd Edition
Author: René De Borst, Mike Crisfield, Joris Remmers and Clemens Verhoosel | Size: 9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2012 | pages: 540 | ISBN: 0470666447
Built upon the two original books by Mike Crisfield and their own lecture notes, renowned scientist René de Borst and his team offer a thoroughly updated yet condensed edition that retains and builds upon the excellent reputation and appeal amongst students and engineers alike for which Crisfield’s first edition is acclaimed.
Together with numerous additions and updates, the new authors have retained the core content of the original publication, while bringing an improved focus on new developments and ideas. This edition offers the latest insights in non-linear finite element technology, including non-linear solution strategies, computational plasticity, damage mechanics, time-dependent effects, hyperelasticity and large-strain elasto-plasticity.
The authors’ integrated and consistent style and unrivalled engineering approach assures this book’s unique position within the computational mechanics literature.

Author: Cesar A. Sciammarella and Federico M. Sciammarella | Size: 12 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2012 | pages: 776 | ISBN: 0470689536
Experimental solid mechanics is the study of materials to determine their physical properties. This study might include performing a stress analysis or measuring the extent of displacement, shape, strain and stress which a material suffers under controlled conditions. In the last few years there have been remarkable developments in experimental techniques that measure shape, displacement and strains and these sorts of experiments are increasingly conducted using computational techniques.
Experimental Mechanics of Solids is a comprehensive introduction to the topics, technologies and methods of experimental mechanics of solids. It begins by establishing the fundamentals of continuum mechanics, explaining key areas such as the equations used, stresses and strains, and two and three dimensional problems. Having laid down the foundations of the topic, the book then moves on to look at specific techniques and technologies with emphasis on the most recent developments such as optics and image processing. Most of the current computational methods, as well as practical ones, are included to ensure that the book provides information essential to the reader in practical or research applications.

This book covers solid mechanics for nonlinear elastic and elastoplastic materials, describing the behavior of ductile material subject to extreme mechanical loading and its eventual failure. The book highlights constitutive features to describe the behavior of frictional materials such as geological media. On the basis of this theory, including large strain and inelastic behaviors, bifurcation and instability are developed with a special focus on the modeling of the emergence of local instabilities such as shear band formation and flutter of a continuum. The former is regarded as a precursor of fracture, while the latter is typical of granular materials. The treatment is complemented with qualitative experiments, illustrations from everyday life, and simple examples taken from structural mechanics.

Worked Examples in Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis
Author: Javier Bonet, Antonio J. Gil, Richard D. Wood | Size: 3 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Cambridge | Year: 2012 | pages: 136 | ISBN: 1107603617
Many processes in materials science and engineering, such as the load deformation behaviour of certain structures, exhibit nonlinear characteristics. The computer simulation of such processes therefore requires a deep understanding of both the theoretical aspects of nonlinearity and the associated computational techniques. This book provides a complete set of exercises and solutions in the field of theoretical and computational nonlinear continuum mechanics and is the perfect companion to Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis, where the authors set out the theoretical foundations of the subject. It employs notation consistent with the theory book and serves as a great resource to students, researchers and those in industry interested in gaining confidence by practising through examples. Instructors of the subject will also find the book indispensable in aiding student learning.

Finite Element Analysis is an analytical engineering tool originated by the Aerospace and nuclear power industries to find usable, approximate solutions to problems with many complex variables. It is an extension of derivative and integral calculus, and uses very large matrix arrays and mesh diagrams to calculate stress points, movement of loads and forces, and other basic physical behaviors. Rao provides a thorough grounding of the mathematical principles for setting up finite element solutions in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering applications. The new edition includes examples using modern computer tools such as Matlab, Ansys, Nastran, and Abaqus.
Professional engineers will benefit from the introduction to the many useful applications of finite element analysis, and will gain a better understanding of its limitations and special uses.
New to this edition: Examples and applications in Matlab, Ansys, and Abaqus Structured problem solving approach in all worked examples New discussions throughout, including the direct method of deriving finite element equations, use of strong and weak form formulations, complete treatment of dynamic analysis, and detailed analysis of heat transfer problems
More examples and exercises All figures revised and redrawn for clarity

Landslides: Types, Mechanisms and Modeling
Author: John J. Clague, Douglas Stead | Size: Unknown MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Year: 2012 | pages: 434 | ISBN: 1107002060
Landslides have geological causes but can be triggered by natural processes (rainfall, snowmelt, erosion and earthquakes) or by human actions such as agriculture and construction. Research aimed at better understanding slope stability and failure has accelerated in recent years, accompanied by basic field research and numerical modeling of slope failure processes, mechanisms of debris movement, and landslide causes and triggers. Written by 75 world-leading researchers and practitioners, this book provides a state-of-the-art summary of landslide science. It features both field geology and engineering approaches, as well as modeling of slope failure and run-out using a variety of numerical codes. It is illustrated with international case studies integrating geological, geotechnical and remote sensing studies and includes recent slope investigations in North America, Europe and Asia. This is an essential reference for researchers and graduate students in geomorphology, engineering geology, geotechnical engineering and geophysics, as well as professionals in natural hazard analysis.
