Advanced, self-contained treatment illustrates general principles and elastic behavior of solids. Part 1, based on classical mechanics, studies thermoelastic behavior of crystalline and polymeric solids. Part 2, based on quantum mechanics, focuses on interatomic force laws, behavior of solids, and thermally activated processes. 96 figures. 1983 edition.
Reliability Theory and Practice by Igor Bazovsky Written by a pioneer of reliability methods, this text applies statistical mathematics to analysis of electrical, mechanical, and other systems employed in airborne, missile, and ground equipment. 1961 edition.
Methods of Analytical Dynamics by Leonard Meirovitch Encompassing formalism and structure in analytical dynamics, this graduate-level text discusses fundamentals of Newtonian and analytical mechanics, rigid body dynamics, problems in celestial mechanics and spacecraft dynamics, more. 1970 edition.
Engineering Mechanics for Structures by Louis L. Bucciarelli This text explores the mechanics of solids and statics as well as the strength of materials and elasticity theory. Its many design exercises encourage creative initiative and systems thinking. 2009 edition.
Plasticity Theory by Jacob Lubliner This self-contained text is devoted to classical quasistatic problems of rate-independent plasticity theory, discussing the finite element method for both viscoplastic and rate-independent plastic solids. 1990 edition.
Exactly Solved Models in Statistical Mechanics by Rodney J. Baxter Exploration of two-dimensional lattice models examines basic statistical mechanics, Ising models, spherical models, ice-type models, corner transfer matrices, and elliptic functions. 1982 edition, with author's 2007 update on subsequent developments.
