Publisher's Synopsis
Mechanics of Solids and Fluids is a comprehensive textbook written by Robert Radcliffe Long. The book covers the fundamental principles of mechanics, including the mechanics of solids and fluids. It is designed for undergraduate students studying engineering, physics, and other related fields.The book is divided into two main sections. The first section covers the mechanics of solids, including stress and strain, elasticity, plasticity, and fracture mechanics. The second section covers the mechanics of fluids, including fluid statics, fluid dynamics, and the Navier-Stokes equations.Throughout the book, Long provides clear explanations of the underlying principles and equations, along with numerous examples and exercises to help students develop their understanding of the subject matter. The book also includes a range of illustrations and diagrams to aid in visualizing the concepts discussed.Mechanics of Solids and Fluids is a valuable resource for students seeking a comprehensive understanding of the principles of mechanics. It is also a useful reference for practicing engineers and researchers in the field.Prentice Hall Series In Engineering Of The Physical Sciences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
