Product Description

For civil, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering courses. This book is a comprehensive, cross-referenced examination of engineering mechanics of solids. Traditional topics are supplemented by an exposure to several newly-emerging disciplines, such as the probabilistic basis for structural analysis, matrix methods, and plastic limit analysis.

Badly needs updating, editing, simplifying 23 May 2003

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book makes a difficult subject even more difficult. While the definitions and general information are good enough, the derivations seem to be very complicated, esoteric, and confusing. This may be appropriate for graduate level (although many of these techniques are obsolete in view of FE analysis) but this book bills itself, and is used mainly for undergraduate deformable mechanics classes. There seem to be a number of mistakes in the book as well. Professors should probably not use this book for an undergraduate level course--find something newer. Undergrads will probably need to get some sort of supplementary outline material that will simplify things.

There are too many mistakes in this book. 3 Jun 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I used this book for a college course last semester and was very displeased with it. It seems like the book was rushed to print, because there are many errors. Figures are improperly dimensioned or do not reflect the information of the problem statement. At least once the book refers to a stress as a force. There are misprinteed equations within the text. For example, in one case a 3 was printed instead of an "E". In another case a "y" was printed indstead of gamma. Some of the practice problem answers given in the back of the book are incorrect. In the tables listing the dimensions and properties of American standard steel W-shapes, the columns for web thickness, flange thickness and flange width are mislabeled. In the table giving useful properties of areas, the moment of inertia for a thin tube is incorrect as is the location of the centroid of half of a thin tube. One of the less serious, but more glaring errors occurs in chapter twelve. The chapter is titled "Yield and Fructure Criteria" instead of "Yield and Fracture Criteria". This incorrect title is repeated on every page of the chapter. This reveals the quality of editing for this edition of Popov's book.

Don't get this book! 27 Nov 2011

By Jayhawk - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book takes a simple topic and makes it impossible to learn and follow along. Problems at the end of the chapter ask you to solve for things that are not even covered in the book. If your teacher is using this book I feel bad for you. Try to buy another book to learn from, and get the homework problems assigned from a friend.
