Mechanics of Materials - Laboratory and Experiments

Mechanics of Materials – Laboratory and Experiments is a text book that offers undergraduate students hands – on experience in traditional and modern experiments in Strength of Materials and Mechanics of Deformable Solids. The book is to provide important information to help students understand the principles and restrictions of both theoretical and experimental analyses in Mechanics of Materials. The book introduces ways to assess the reliability of laboratory measurements, together with the methods used to determine the reliability of calculations based on the measurements. Advantages of computer controlled laboratory activities include students' excitement about their first - hand experience with modern equipments. The students will also learn to perform well the technical report writing, and to insure the safety and health of laboratory work.
