The unified theory presented in this book is developed around three concepts: Hooke's Law, Equilibrium Equations, and Compatibility conditions. The first two of these methods have been fully understood, but clearly are indirect methods with limitations. Through research, the authors have come to understand compatibility conditions, which, until now, had remained in an immature state of development. This method, the Integrated Force Method (IFM) couples equilibrium and compatibility conditions to determine forces directly. The combination of these methods allows engineering students from a variety of disciplines to comprehend and compare the attributes of each. The concept that IFM strength of materials theory is problem independent, and can be easily generalized for solving difficult problems in linear, nonlinear, and dynamic regimes is focused upon. Discussion of the theory is limited to simple linear analysis problems suitable for an undergraduate course in strength of materials. To support the teaching application of the book there are problems and an instructor's manual. Provides a novel approach integrating two popular indirect solution methods with newly researched, more direct conditions Completes the previously partial theory of strength of materials A new frontier in solid mechanics 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aStrength of materials 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aHopkins, Dale A. 776 1 $cOriginal$z0750674024$z9780750674027$w(DLC) 2003048191$w(OCoLC)52058255 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750674027$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 41$zTable of contents$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els031/2003048191.html 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els031/2003048191.html 907 $a.b13652084$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003229259707536 996 $aStrength of materials$9233652 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
