Format:Hardcover
A very usefull reference book for the practising structural or mechanical engineer. However it could be significantly improved by some modernisation and rationalisation ie: removing references out-dated information and references from the 1920's and 1930's,etc. Also by standardising variables and equations, eg: the variable for the width of a section may be 'b' in one chapter 'd' in another, also 'tw' may represent flange thickness rather than web thickness, etc. The book examples are all in U.S. (lbs, feet) units, annoying the European (N, m) user, and may start on one page, then be interupted by 20 pages of tables before continuing on. So the general layout could do with being significantly improved.

Excellent reference book for structural and mechanical engineers. Arrived late, but Canada Post went on strike shortly after I ordered it, so not the seller's fault.

Great Reference
Great reference book for modeling odd shaped things. Print is a little small but otherwise this is an excellent book for any mechanical design engineer.

The book is now twice the thickness of the 6th Edition book. This makes opening and keeping open the book much more difficult. Read more
