Publisher's Synopsis
This sequel to Applied Stress Analysis (Ellis Horwood, 1978) reflects the author's belief that whilst much structural design is carried out by computer methods, structural designers and engineers should be in possession of a thorough knowledge of the principles and concepts of stress analysis. The book offers such designers a way of interpreting the results of their computing calculations and at the same time, highlights some aspects of traditional stress analysis which are preferable to computer solutions.;The author takes an applied approach throughout and by the use of a generous number of worked examples, powerfully increases the engineering dimension in advanced stress analysis: this feature is in response to recommendations made in the prestigious Finniston report on engineering and science.
