Zusammenfassung:"The essence of continuum mechanics is often obscured by the complex mathematics of its formulation. By building gradually from one-dimensional to two- and three-dimensional formulations, this book provides an accessible introduction to the fundamentals of solid and fluid mechanics." "Introduction to Engineering Mechanics demonstrates the concepts of stress and strain in the continuum context, showing the relationships between solid and fluid behavior and the mathematics that describe them. The continuum approach underlies an integrated introduction to the mechanics of engineering materials that includes complex behavior such as nonlinearity and viscoelasticity. Detailed case studies describe real-world applications and such catastrophic failures as the collapse of the St. Francis Dam and the Hartford Civic Center. The authors demonstrate the development of the mechanics field by interweaving historical context, such as the longstanding feud between Sirs Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke, throughout the text's chapters." "Through its progressive development of ideas, this book facilitates the development of both physical intuition for how solids and fluids behave and the mathematical techniques needed to describe their behaviors."--BOOK JACKET.
