Rather than offering another standard textbook on structural and stress analysis, Ye (structural and materials modeling, civil engineering, U. of Lancaster, UK) presents a summary of the major concepts and points that students need to understand in mastering the subject with basic discussion of its mathematical and theoretical aspects. Topics covered include normal and shear stress, deformations associated with force, torsion, and theories of elastic failure. Chapters begin with a summary of key issues and relevant formulas, include practical worked examples and diagrams, and conclude with conceptual questions based on applying the derived equations and quizzes.
