Description: Mechanics of Solids with Applications to Thin Bodies Author: Gerald Wempner Title: Mechanics of Solids with Applications to Thin Bodies Publication: 64: McGraw-Hill, 1973 Edition: 1st Edition Description: Hardcover. Text in English. 633 pp. Dust jacket has age tanning and edge wear. Binding slightly worn.What differentiates Gerald A Wempner's Mechanics of Solids from other similar texts is its integrated treatment of solid mechanics and the approximate theories of solid bodies The various theories of structural elements, rods, plates and shells are systematically derived, as approximations of three-dimensional bodies.Intended for graduate study, the text begins with the fundamental concepts of continuous media and extends through the theories of rods, plates, and shells The geometrical and mechanical foundations of the early chapters are broad enough to encompass the nonlinear behavior and, especially, the large deflections and buckling of thin bodies. The theories of rods, plates and shells are similarly derived from the general theories of solids. Each is initially introduced to describe the behavior of the specific differential element, in terms of the stresses, strains and intrinsic properties; displacements and rotations (rigid motions) are described only when the intrinsic theories are fully detailed.Essentially, the book presents the general theory and practical approximation of the various advanced topics of solids and structures in an integrated manner and offers a unification of these topics so that the student can achieve a better perspective and understanding of the discipline as a whole.Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on the physical meaning of the kinematic and dynamic quantities and the interrelation between them, Featured, as well, is an up-to-date presentation of energy principles and variational methods including criteria for stability at the critical load.
