Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: Presented as a textbook for a second course in the general area of solid mechanics in the mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering curricula. ... Some unique features are the inclusion of chapters on axisymmetric membrane and bending behavior of shells and approximate techniques in energy methods ... . Overall, an excellent presentation of selected topics in mechanics with numerous exercises (over 400) and 80-plus worked-out examples to illustrate concepts/applications. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Academic libraries, upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and practicing engineers. (R. Kolar, Choice, Vol. 48 (11), August, 2011) This textbook covers a course in strength of materials, containing also analytical and numerical methods used in the industrial mechanical design. ... The book is completed by an appendix on finite element method, widely applied in structural mechanics. The work may be useful to civil and mechanical engineers. (Olivian Simionescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1218, 2011)

Author Information

J.R.BARBER J.R.BARBER graduated in Mechanical Sciences from Cambridge University in 1963 and joined British Rail, who later sponsored his research at Cambridge between 1965 and 1968 on the subject of thermal effects in braking systems. In 1969 he became Lecturer and later Reader in Solid Mechanics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. In 1981 he moved to the University of Michigan, where he is presently Arthur F Thurnau Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics. He is a Chartered Engineer in the U.K., Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and has engaged extensively in consulting work in the field of stress analysis for engineering design. He is author of two books (‘Elasticity’ and ‘Intermediate Mechanics of Materials’) and over 160 articles in the fields of Elasticity, Thermoelasticity, Contact Mechanics, Tribology, Heat Conduction and Elastodynamics. He is a recipient of the Drucker Medal of ASME and the Archie Higdon DistinguishedEducator Award of ASEE. He has served as Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Mechanics and Mathematical Problems in Engineering and is a member of the editorial boards of the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, the Journal of Thermal Stresses, MilleChili Journal and Acta Tribologica.  http://www-personal.umich.edu/˜jbarber/
