The best available guide to the elastic stability of large structures, this volume was co-authored by world-renowned authorities on engineering mechanics. It ranges from theoretical explanations of 2- and 3-D stress and strain to practical applications such as torsion, bending, thermal stress, and wave propagation through solids. Equally valuable as text or reference. 1961 edition. Reprint of the McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., New York, 1961 edition.
