Formulas for Stress, Strain and Structural Matrices

Second Edition
by Walter D. Pilkey

The most comprehensive book in its field, Formulas for Stress, Strain and Structural Matrices is a source of formulas for the analysis and design of structural members and mechanical elements.

• Presents simple formulas, organized by type of member, to permit more complex members to be solved.

• Includes formulas for dynamic response as well as nominal vibration formulas.

• Contains background material on stress and strain, mechanical properties of materials, stress analysis, stress concentration, and fracture and fatigue mechanics

A conveniently organized resource for the strength of material formulas, it eases the task of analysis and provides critical information for mechanical, design, civil, and structural engineers as well as stress analysts.
