Practical Stress Analysis in Engineering Design (Mechanical Engineering)

The purpose of this book is to provide a practice-oriented guide for the application of stress analysis principles to mechanical and structural design. This discipline cuts rather broadly across various facets of engineering wherever the response of deformable bodies to external forces is involved. It is based on the laws of Newtonian mechanics, and it relates to a number of traditional topics from machine design, strength of materials, and elasticity. However, the material given in this text also contains several new formulas and approaches derived from recent design experience.
