Mechanics of Materials, 1952, 1952

Document Type: Textbook (Technical).

Purpose: Training and Education.

Authority: Author Expertise.

Series: Prentice-Hall Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Series

NB: "The purpose of the Prentice-Hall Series in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics is to meet the requirements of teachers who seek to train their students for a place at the forefront of engineering progress."

Scope (from Preface): "This book is designed for use in an undergraduate course in Strength or Mechanics of Materials. Fundamental principles of the subject are emphasized throughout. Applications are selected from the various fields of engineering. It is assumed that the reader has completed a course in Statics. However, those topics which are particularly important in Mechanics of Materials are reviewed where introduced."
