Useful Approximate Solutions for Standard Problems

This book contains 15 double page sections that list, with a short commentary, results for constitutive equations; for the loading of beams, columns and torsion bars; for contact stresses, cracks and other stress concentrations; for pressure vessels, vibrating beams and plates; and for the flow of heat and matter. Their usefulness cannot be overstated.

Many problems of conceptual design can be treated, with adequate precision, by patching together the solutions given here; and even the detailed analysis of non-critical components can often be tackled in the same way. Even when this approximate approach is not sufficiently accurate, the insight it gives is valuable
