Appropriate for graduate students, this text explains analytical and computational methods for solving problems related to motion of particles through flow of a viscous fluid. 99 figures. 47 tables. 1991 edition.

Text develops typical mathematical techniques of operations research and systems engineering and applies them to design and operation of civil engineering systems. Solutions to selected problems; solution guide available upon request. 1972 edition.

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.

This meticulous and precise account of the theory of finite elasticity fills a significant gap in the literature. The book is concerned with the mathematical theory of non-linear elasticity, the application of this theory to the solution of boundary-value problems (including discussion of bifurcation and stability) and the analysis of the mechanical properties of solid materials capable of large elastic deformations. The setting is purely isothermal and no reference is made to thermodynamics. For the most part attention is restricted to the quasi-static theory, but some brief relevant discussion of time-dependent problems is included.Especially coherent and well written, Professor Ogden's book includes not only all the basic material but many unpublished results and new approaches to existing problems. In part the work can be regarded as a research monograph but, at the same time, parts of it are also suitable as a postgraduate text. Problems designed to further develop the text material are given throughout and some of these contain statements of new results.Widely regarded as a classic in the field, this work is aimed at research workers and students in applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, and continuum mechanics. It will also be of great interest to materials scientists and other scientists concerned with the elastic properties of materials.

Text for students without in-depth mathematical training, this text includes a comprehensive presentation and analysis of algorithms of time-dependent phenomena plus beam, plate, and shell theories. Solution guide available upon request.

This classic describes and illustrates basic theory, with a detailed explanation of discrete wavelet transforms. Suitable for upper-level undergraduates, it is also a practical resource for professionals.

Graduate-level text synthesizes research and experience from disparate fields to form guidelines for dealing with vibration phenomena, particularly in terms of assessing sources of excitation in a flow system. 1994 edition.

Designed by two MIT professors, this authoritative text discusses basic concepts and applications in detail, emphasizing generality, definitions, and logical consistency. More than 300 solved problems cover realistic energy systems and processes.

Written by world-renowned authorities on mechanics, this classic ranges from theoretical explanations of 2- and 3-D stress and strain to practical applications such as torsion, bending, and thermal stress. 1961 edition.

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.

This excellent historical survey of the strength of materials features many references to the theories of elasticity and structure. 245 figures.
