Rate this book
The best available guide to the elastic stability of large structures, this volume was co-authored by world-renowned authorities on engineering mechanics. It ranges from theoretical explanations of 2- and 3-D stress and strain to practical applications such as torsion, bending, thermal stress, and wave propagation through solids. Equally valuable as text or reference. Table Of Contents: Preface 1. Notations 2. Beam-Columns 3. Elastic Buckling of Bars and Frames 4. Experiments and Design Formulas 5. Torsionnal Buckling 6. Lateral Buckling of Beams 7. Buckling of Rings 8. Curved Bars and Arches 9. Bending of Thin Plates 10. Buckling of Thin Plates 11. Bending of Thin Shells 12. Buckling of Shells
