Bending and 2D Elasticity: Going Back in Time

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on Thu, 03/12/2009 - 07:19

The following is a (relatively minor) question which had occurred to me more than two decades ago. By now I have forgotten precisely when it was... It could have been when I was in my TE (third year engineering) at COEP. ... Or, perhaps, it was later on, when I as at IIT Madras (studying stress analysis on my own). ... I don't remember precisely when it occurred to me, only *how* it did---it was when I was poring over the first part of Dieter's book.

Mechanics of Materials by F.P. Beer, E.R. Russell Johnston Jr. and J.T. DeWolf

Mechanics of Materials is the book I used for my undergraduate course in strength of materials and it helped me understand the basics, and hence my selection.

The outline is as follows:

Ch. 1: Introduction - concepts of stress

Ch. 2: Stress and strain - axial loading

Ch. 3: Torsion

Ch. 4: Pure bending

Ch. 5: Analysis and design of beams for bending

Ch. 6: Shearing stresses in beams and thin-walled members

Ch. 7: Transformations of stress and strain

Stress and Strain: Basic Concepts of Continuum Mechanics for Geologists

Submitted by Eric Kiser on Fri, 10/26/2007 - 15:35

This book begins by describing real life examples of mechanical states of different materials. The book next discusses stress. This discussion includes force, mohr circles, tensor components of stress, and stress fields. Next strain is discussed. This ranges from measuring deformation to tensor components of infinite and finite strain. The book concludes by outlining different material behaviors. These include Hookean behavior and Newtonian behavior. This last section also discusses energy consumed in deformation.
