Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams
Computational Methods
Wiley, 2002
|
| Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams presents theory, computer models, and applications related to thin-walled beams such as
those used in mechanical and aerospace designs, where thin, lightweight
structures with high strength are needed. This book will enable
readers to compute the cross-sectional properties (bending, torsion,
shear, and warping properties) of individual beams with
arbitrary cross-sectional shapes, to apply a general-purpose computer
analysis of a complete structure to determine the forces and moments in
the individual members, and to use a unified approach for calculating the
normal and shear stresses, as well as deflections, for those members'
cross sections. Software corresponding to the book is available
here. |

Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural
Matrices
Wiley, 3rd Ed. Coming Summer 2004 |
| Formulas are given for
stresses, displacements, buckling loads, natural frequencies, and
transient responses of beams, torsional systems, extension bars, frames,
thin-walled beams, curved bars, rotors, plates, thick shells, and thin
shells. Also discussed are mechanical properties and
testing of engineering materials, geometric shear-related properties and
stresses, responses of gridworks and thick shells, and fracture mechanics
and fatigue. The formulas provide tools for static,
stability, and dynamic analyses of beams, bars, plates, and shells with
very general mechanical or thermal loadings. |

Petersons Stress Concentrations
Wiley, 1997 |
| Substantially revised and completely updated, this
book presents stress concentration factors both graphically and with
formulas. It also employs computer-generated art in its portrayal of
the various relationships between stress factors affecting machines or
structures. These new charts provide a visual representation of the
machine or structure under consideration as well as graphs of the various
stress concentration factors at work. They can be easily accessed
via an illustrated table of contents that permits identification based on
the geometry and loading of the location of a factor. A new chapter
is devoted to finite element analysis of stress concentrations, as well as
effective computational design. It explains how to optimize shape to
circumvent stress concentration problems and how to achieve a well-balanced
design of structures and machines that will result in reduced costs,
lighter products, and improved performance. |

Optimum Protection From Impact, Shock, and
Vibration
Taylor and Francis, 2001 |
| Written with Dimitry V. Balandin and Nikolai N. Bolotnik,
this book offers a comprehensive modern presentation of the theory of
optimal isolation of impact, shock, and vibration, including a number of
practical applications, mainly in injury prevention. The material covered is critical to the
understanding of the physical principles underlying the behavior of the
systems that are needed to provide protection from impact, shock or
vibration. The basis for investigating the limiting capabilities is
presented. |

Mechanics of Structures
Variational and Computational Methods 2nd Ed.
CRC Press, 2003 |
| Written with Walter Wunderlich, this book contains sections on the
formulations for linear problems of elasticity including the basic
equations in differentiable form, the principles of virtual work and
integral form of the basic equations, as well as related variational and
energy principles. A section on solution methods includes the structural
analysis methods of both beams and structural systems, the finite element
method, direct varitional and weighted residual methods, the finite
difference method, and the boundary element method. There is a
section on the formulations for dynamic and stability problems which
covers dynamic responses and stability analysis, and an analysis of bars
and plates follows. |
