5.0 out of 5 stars AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR MECHANICAL AND CIVIL ENGINEERS, 20 Oct 2002

By	"naldo101" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain (McGraw-Hill International Editions) (Paperback)

This book is definitely one that you want on your bookshelf. It is essential if you are constantly calculating engineering stresses and strains from anything such as micro medical equipment to macro civil structures. Its a must for engineers working with fea codes as a backup to check themnselves manually.
I think that this book along with Machinery's Handbook will cover basicly everything any mechanical engineer could wish for in terms of calculations formulas.
The 7th edition is very well laid out, with all tables at the end of the relevant chapters, therefore no longer cluttering the free flow of the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible reference students and practising engineers., 7 Oct 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Formulas for Stress and Strain (Paperback)

This reference I would recommend to anyone studying a mechanical engineering degree, or working in any engineering field.

Including straight-forward background explanations of basic terms and concepts, the book is well laid out, giving both quick look-up information and more in-depth descriptions of relevant aspects.

The formulae are tabulated, with explanations of all terms used, and the book gives comprehensive coverage of all but the most exceptional cases. All necessary boundary conditions, constants and dependant variables are given.

Clear and extensive references are given with each chapter for the reader with specific interest.

Relevant, useful appendices are included for aspects such as material properties, meaning less time spent sifting through other reference material.

Well cross referenced, and understandably written, I can recommend it personally as an investment for any undergraduate, and a must for professional mechanical engineers. Having struggled for too many years with a lack of access to it, I am off to buy it now!

Other texts you might find useful:

Petersens Stress concentration factors - similar style layout, and necessary for anyone using Roark for detailed stress concentration / fatigue calculations.

Gieck's Technical Formulae - a really quick look up book, dinky (pocket sized altough depends on the size of your coat) The absolute basics through to more complex subject material succinctly put.
