The lectures cover all basic topics of mechanics of materials and such fundamental concepts as stress, strain, elastic and inelastic behavior, strain energy, and mechanical properties of materials. Specialized topics such as stress concentrations, fatigue and dynamic loading, thermal and prestrain effects, behavior of columns, and pressure vessels are considered, too.
A unique, integrated treatment of computer modeling and simulation «The future of science belongs to those willing to make the shift to simulation-based modeling,» predicts Rice Professor James Thompson, a leading modeler and computational statistician widely known for his original ideas and engaging style. He discusses methods, available to anyone with a fast desktop computer, for integrating sim…

The first and only comprehensive guide to modern record theory and its applications Although it is often thought of as a special topic in order statistics, records form a unique area, independent of the study of sample extremes. Interest in records has increased steadily over the years since Chandler formulated the theory of records in 1952. Numerous applications of them have been developed in suc…
The brand new edition of this classic text–with more exercises and easier to use than ever Like the first edition, this new version of Lamperti's classic text succeeds in making this fascinating area of mathematics accessible to readers who have limited knowledge of measure theory and only some familiarity with elementary probability. Streamlined for even greater clarity and with more exercises to…
