Preface
This treatise provides a broad overview of the definitions of fundamental quantities and the methods of analysis employed when solid materials that behave in an elastic manner are used in structural components. The presentation is limited to the linear elastic range of material behavior where there is a one-to-one relationship between load and displacement. Fundamental methods of analysis and typical results for structures made of elastic solid materials subjected to axial, bending, torsion, thermal, and internal pressure loading are presented. Stability of rods, analysis of plates, concepts of the finite element method, and mechanics of fibrous composite materials also are reviewed. The presentation is at an introductory level suitable for advanced students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics); it also can serve as an introduction or review for students and professionals in science and engineering. The treatise can be an introduction for specialists in fields such
