Roark's formulas for stress and strain.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- Stress and strain: important relationships -- The behavior of bodies under stress -- Principles and analytical methods -- Numerical methods -- Experimental methods -- Tension, compression, shear, and combined stress -- Beams; flexure of straight bars -- Curved beams -- Torsion -- Flat plates -- Columns and other compression members -- Shells of revolution; pressure vessles; pipes -- Bodies under direct bearing and shear stress -- Elastic stability -- Dynamic and temperature stresses -- Stress concentration -- Fatigue and fracture -- Stresses in fasteners and joints -- Composite materials -- Solid biomechanics.

This title is designed for engineers and analysts working with calculations of loads and stress. It includes information on joints, bearing and shear stress, experimental stress analysis, and stress concentrations.
