Updated and reorganized, each of the topics is thoroughly developed from fundamental principles. The assumptions,
applicability and limitations of the methods are clearly discussed. Includes such advanced subjects as plasticity,
creep, fracture, mechanics, flat plates, high cycle fatigue, contact stresses and finite elements. Due to the widespread
use of the metric system, SI units are used throughout.
