Product Description

Building on the success of five previous editions, this new sixth edition continues to present a unified approach to the study of the behavior of structural members and the development of design and failure criteria. The text treats each type of structural member in sufficient detail so that the resulting solutions are directly applicable to real–world problems. New examples for various types of member and a large number of new problems are included. To facilitate the transition from elementary mechanics of materials to advanced topics, a review of the elements of mechanics of materials is presented along with appropriate examples and problems.

A very good book
I found this book very good.if you work or study finite elements or generally mechanics you will find it very useful because it doesnt just give you huge formulas,it has examples and it helped me understand a lot more.have a look at the chapter titles and if its what you are looking for then i strongly believe the content will satisfy you.also,although its 'advanced' and hence has enough maths,its not very hard to follow.
