Advanced Strength and Applied Stress Analysis
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 1.75/5 from 4 reviews Extremely Complete and ThoroughMathematical derivations are VERY complete and relatively straight forward. There is a TON of material covered, and I constantly refer back to it in my graduate-level Mechancial Engr. courses. - even F.E.M. Advanced Strength and Applied Stress AnalysisI have taught Advanced Strength of Materials at three different universities and without a doubt this is the worst textbook that I have ever used or seen. The text was selected before I started teaching at New Mexico Tech and I did not have time to change before the semester started. There are numerous mistakes in the example problems, the material is never explained in a fashion that the students can understand, the material is badly organized, and the author never states what assunptions are built in to the equations that he uses. A totally unsatisfactory book!! Too many mistakes!!!!I agree with the reader from Rocheste,NY. The book is great for an engineer, but the solutions given for the exercises are too often wrong. Therefore, I don't recommend this book for a student and I would be a bit ashamed of myself if, as a professor of mechanical engineering, I was the author of it. | ||||||||||||||||||
