This book provides an introduction to fundamental concepts of solid mechanics for the uninitiated. The coverage ranges from fundamental definitions through constitutive equations, axial loading, torsion, bending, thermal effects, stability, pressure vessels, plates and shells, computational mechanics, and fibrous composite materials.

This book provides a detailed history of theUnited States National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics(USNC/TAM) of the US National Academies, the relationship between the USNC/TAMand IUTAM, and a review of the many mechanicians who developed the field overtime.
