(An intuition-fostering overview of the engineering design...)
An intuition-fostering overview of the engineering design implications of advanced strength of materials. Links concepts and theories of mechanics with realistic applications taken directly from day-to-day civil aerospace, and mechanical engineering practice. Filled with numerous applied engineering examples that give readers an insider's feel for mechanical concepts--includes coverage of Finite Element Methods.
