THE MOST COMPLETE, UP-TO-DATE GUIDE TO STRESS AND STRAIN FORMULASFully revised throughout, Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain, Eighth Edition, provides accurate and thorough tabulated formulations that can be applied to the stress analysis of a comprehensive range of structural components. All equations and diagrams of structural properties are presented in an easy-to-use, thumb, through format.This extensively updated edition contains new chapters on fatigue and fracture mechanics, stresses in fasteners and joints, composite materials, and biomechanics. Several chapters have been expanded and new topics have been added. Each chapter now concludes with a summary of tables and formulas for ease of reference. This is the definitive resource for designers, engineers, and analysts who need to calculate stress and strain management.ROARK'S FORMULAS FOR STRESS AND STRAIN, EIGHTH EDITION, COVERS:Behavior of bodies under stressPrinciples and analytical methodsNumerical and experimental methodsTension, compression, shear, and combined stressBeams; flexure of straight barsBending of curved beamsTorsionFlat platesColumns and other compression membersShells of revolution; pressure vessels; pipesBodies in contact undergoing direct bearing and shear stressElastic stabilityDynamic and temperature stressesStress concentration factorsFatigue and fracture mechanicsStresses in fasteners and jointsComposite materialsBiomechanics
