Timoshenko explores the early roots of the discipline from the great monuments and pyramids of ancient Egypt through the temples, roads, and fortifications of ancient Greece and Rome.

This text is an established bestseller in engineering technology programs, and the Seventh Edition of Applied Strength of Materials continues to provide comprehensive coverage of the mechanics of materials.

Axioms and non-demonstrated simplifying hypotheses, which are common in this kind of book, are avoided.

This book follows a simple approach along with numerous solved and unsolved problems to explain the basics followed by advanced concepts such as three dimensional stresses, the theory of simple bending, theories of failure, mechanical ...

In addition to coverage of customary elementary subjects (tension, torsion, bending, etc.), this introductory text features advanced material on engineering methods and applications, plus 350 problems and answers. 1949 edition.

Abridged from the 2 vol. edition and designed primarily for undergraduate courses in colleges and engineering schools.

This is the first paperback edition of an equally successful text by this highly respected engineer and author.
