Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references 2

[hmalfs]

Hello all,

I would like to have bibliographic references of books about the mass moment of inertia, area moment of inertia, center of mass. centroids, etc.

Thanks,
Hugo Silva

any standard strength of materials text. have you tried google ??

Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati

 

[hmalfs]

Actually yes. I don't know the keyword I shall use. I only found wikipedia (LOL)

Any textbook about statics and dynamics.

Ok, so now I found one:

Do you think this book is good? : James M. Gere, Barry J. Goodno, "Mechanics of Materials", SI Edition (8th edition)

 

[rb1957]

google "strength of materials"

research any undergrad mech engineering

Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati

 

[TheTick]

"Vector Mechanics for Engineers" by Beer and Johnston

 

[rb1957]

try google "area moment of inertia" ... wiki goes into the dynamics of bodies rather than the structural interpretation.

Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati

TheTick,

Many thanks,
That book is exactly what I was looking for!!

I tend to think the old ways are the best. I recommend "Strength of Materials Part 1 - Elementary Theory and Problems" by Stephen Timoshenko.

Pretty much any book by Joseph E. Shigley, such as "Mechanical Engineering Design", or the "bible": "Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers", or the trusty standby: "Machinery's Handbook". Also, using those search terms on Amazon produces lots of results.

Beer & Johnson was the introductory textbook that I started with. Information very clear and accessible, as I recall.

"Schiefgehen will, was schiefgehen kann" - das Murphygesetz

I don't know about Johnson, but definitely Beer.

Mike McCann

Some of that is to be found in calculus textbooks, I believe.

Mike - I'll drink to that!

I'd suggest purchasing a copy of Roark. It provides equations for virtually every conceivable form of cross section property, including moments of inertia.

What's wrong with the modern generation of engineers? Why don't they feel that they should have to pay for the tools needed for their profession?
