Publisher's Synopsis
This sequel to "Applied Stress Analysis" reflects the author's thesis that whilst much structural design is carried out by computer methods, structural designers and engineers still require a thorough knowledge of the principles and concepts of stress analysis. The book offers such designers a means of interpreting the results of their computing calculations and at the same time, highlights some aspects of traditional stress analysis which are preferable to computer solutions.;The author adopts an applied approach throughout and by means of worked examples, significantly increases the engineering dimension in advanced stress analysis: this feature is in response to recommendations made in the Finniston report on engineering and science.
