Da Silva V.D. Mechanics and Strength of Materials

Springer, 2006. 531 p., OCR.The first English edition of this book corresponds to the third Portuguese edition. Since the translation has been done by the author, a complete review of the text has been carried out simultaneously. As a result, small improvements have been made, especially by explaining the introductory parts of some
Chapters and sections in more detail.
The book is divided into two parts. In the first one the Mechanics of Materials is introduced on the basis of Continuum Mechanics, while the second one deals with basic concepts about the behaviour of materials and structures, as well as the Theory of Slender Members, in the form which is usually called Strength of Materials.
