Summary
Summary
Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices enables you to take full advantage of the efficiency and accuracy of computers for deformation and stress analysis. The formulas included give you powerful tools for static, stability, and dynamic analyses of beams, bars, plates, and shells with very general mechanical or thermal loading. Formulas are given for stresses, displacements, buckling loads, natural frequencies, and transient responses, beams, torsional systems, extension bars, frames, thin-walled beams, curved bars, rotors, plates, thick shells, and thin shells are included. Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices delivers key material not found in other books on the subject, such as mechanical properties and testing of engineering material, geometric, shear-related properties and stresses, responses of gridworks and thick shells, and fracture mechanics and fatigue. And you'll find a further powerful tool in the tables of structural matrices given here, which allows you to develop your own computer program to solve special problems. A succinct source on the strength of material formulas, Formulas for Stress, Strain, and Structural Matrices will ease the task of analysis and provide new opportunities for design engineers, structural engineers, and stress analysts.

Choice Review
Pilkey's book is one of the most interesting reference books in structural engineering and mechanics that this reviewer has seen in many years. The title, however, seems to imply that the formulas are only for matrices, which is not the case. Pilkey presents short descriptions of theory and follows these with many useful and pertinent formulas on various topics, such as experimental stress analysis, fracture mechanics, contact stresses, beams, columns and frames, dynamic loading, contact stresses, curved bars, and plates and shells. Some topics on fundamental mathematics are expanded in the appendix. In addition to technical libraries, engineers and engineering offices and establishments engaged in structural mechanics and stress analysis would find this book extremely valuable. Upper-division undergraduate through professional; two-year technical program students. S. C. Anand; Clemson University
