Overview
Advanced Mechanics of Materials, by William B. Bickford, is the first book in its field to demonstrate the relationship of advanced topics in mechanics of materials in a consistent manner. Other books on the subject present the mechanics of materials as a collection of unrelated topics. Using superior explanations and pedagogy, Dr. Bickford provides the engineer with a book they can use to relate theory to practice.Employs a consistent chapter-by-chapter treatment stressing the basic ideas of equilibrium, deformation, and material behavior develops the finite element method in Chapter 2 and integrates finite element applications in several later chapters provides numerous worked examples throughout the text to illustrate the application of theory to practical problems provides instructors with a solutions manual for all the problems in the text.

Textbook for the second course in solid mechanics that extends elementary theories to make them applicable in more general settings as regards the geometry of the region and the type of loadings allowed. Bickford (mechanical and aerospace engineering, Arizona State University) stresses the basic ideas of equilibrium, deformation, and material behavior; integrates finite element applications; and provides worked examples to illustrate the application of theory to practical problems.
