DeepDyve eBooks - A Concise Introduction to Elastic Solids

Mechanics of Solids

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 1 –7

[Mechanics of solids is concerned with understanding the response of solid materials (as opposed to fluids) when subjected to external forces and changes in environmental conditions such as temperature.]

Available

Stress

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 9 –17

[The forces per unit area on each face of a cubical element are the stresses on that face. There are two types of stresses; normal stresses are perpendicular to the face of the element and shear stresses are parallel to the element face.]

Available

Strain

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 19 –25

[Strain represents the change in geometry of a body when subjected to external forces or environmental conditions. There are two types of strain: normal strain and shear strain.]

Available

Constitutive Equations

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 27 –31

[ Constitutive equations provide relationships between the stresses and the strains.]

Available

Equilibrium

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 33 –35

[Fundamental to the analysis of the response of solid materials is the application of Newton’s second law, namely that the summation of all external forces is related to the mass, m, of the body and its acceleration. a.]

Available

Axial Loading

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 37 –40

[Axial loading corresponds to a force applied normal to the surface under consideration.]

Available

Torsion of Cylindrical Bars

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 41 –46

[Torsion of cylindrical bars refers to the application of torque (twist) of equal magnitude at the opposite ends of a bar of cylindrical shape.]

Available

Beam Bending

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 47 –54

[A beam is a structural member whose length is greater than its other dimensions. It will bend when external loads are applied to it.]

Available

Beam Subjected to Transverse Loading

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 55 –60

[Transverse loading of a beam refers to loads that are applied perpendicular to the planar surface of the beam.]

Available

Beam Deflections

Herakovich, Carl T.

Pages: 61 –66

[The deflection of a beam refers to the displacements perpendicular to the planar surface of the beam when the beam is subjected to external loads.]
