Intended for graduate study, MECHANICS OF SOLIDS begins with the fundamental concepts of continuous media and extends through the theories of rods, plates, and shells. Various theories of structural elements, rods, plates and shells are systematically derived as approximations of three-dimensional bodies. Essentially, the text presents the general theory and practical approximations of the various topics of solids and structures in an integrated manner and offers a unification of these topics so that the student can achieve a better perspective and understanding of the discipline as a whole.
