Analysis of Structures: An Introduction Including Numerical Methods
Joe G. Eisley
Preference :
This textbook is intended to be an introductory text on the mechanics of solids. The authors have targeted an audience that usually would go on to obtain undergraduate degrees in aerospace and mechanical engineering. As such, some specialized topics that are of importance to aerospace engineers are given more coverage. The material presented assumes only a background in introductory physics and calculus. The presentation departs from standard practice in a fundamental way. Most introductory texts on this subject take an approach, not unlike that adopted by Timoshenko, in his 1930 Strength of Materials books, that is, by primarily formulating problems in terms of forces.
