Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This is very much a teaching text intended as an accompaniment to an advanced undergraduate engineering course. In content, the book primarily deals with static problems in solids and structures, but also leads into dynamics, while focusing unequivocally on the needs of students rather than researchers and professionals.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
