Features: This book covers the fundamental concepts of mechanics of deformable solids, such as the analysis of internal forces in slender members, stress analysis, strain analysis, the stress-strain relationship of linear elastic materials, external work and strain energy, the principle of virtual work, etc.; the calculation of stress, strain, and deformation in members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, and bending; the strength theory of brittle and plastic materials and the basic methods for strength design of load-bearing members; the critical force and stability of columns; as well as special topics such as singular function method, the stress-strain relationship of fiber-reinforced composites, the solution of simple statically indeterminate problems, bending of composite beams, bending of unsymmetric beams, shear center, unit load method, and fatigue strength of members. This book emphasizes the fundamental concepts of mechanics of deformable bodies and their application in the analysis of member mechanics. Through numerous examples and exercises, it deepens the understanding of the concepts. The discussion is systematic, the content is rich, and it is suitable for reference by faculty and students of engineering disciplines in higher education institutions and engineering technicians.
