A Beginner's Primer

ebook

As we enter an exciting new era in industrial design, simulation, and manufacturing, a clear understanding of mechanics of solids is needed now more than ever. This primer  is a condensed synopsis of basic undergraduate mechanics and is designed to supplement  classical textbooks in this area. The focus is  on the essentials of mechanics, specifically:

  •              The concept of stress.

  •              Stress-strain relationships.

  •              Failure theory.

  •              Axial loading of a rod.

  •              Transverse (bending) loading of a beam.

  •              Industrial application: modeling of 3D printing.

  •              Transverse shear stresses.

  •              Torsional loading of a rod.

  •              Pressure vessels.

  •              Buckling of columns.

  •              The basics of finite element methods.

  •              A unifying concept: continuum mechanics.
