Strength of materials is that branch of engineering concerned with the deformation and disruption of solids when forces other than changes in position or equilibrium are acting upon them. The development of our understanding of the strength of materials has enabled engineers to establish the forces which can safely be imposed on structure or components, or to choose materials appropriate to the necessary dimensions of structures and components which have to withstand given loads without suffering effects deleterious to their proper functioning.
This excellent historical survey of the strength of materials with many references to the theories of elasticity and structures is based on an extensive series of lectures delivered by the author at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. Timoshenko explores the early roots of the discipline from the great monuments and pyramids of ancient Egypt through the temples, roads, and fortifications of ancient Greece and Rome. The author fixes the formal beginning of the modern science of the strength of materials with the publications of Galileo's book, "Two Sciences," and traces the rise and development as well as industrial and commercial applications of the fledgling science from the seventeenth century through the twentieth century.
Timoshenko fleshes out the bare bones of mathematical theory with lucid demonstrations of important equations and brief biographies of highly influential mathematicians, including: Euler, Lagrange, Navier, Thomas Young, Saint-Venant, Franz Neumann, Maxwell, Kelvin, Rayleigh, Klein, Prandtl, and many others. These theories, equations, and biographies are further enhanced by clear discussions of the development of engineering and engineering education in Italy, France, Germany, England, and elsewhere. 245 figures.
作者简介 The father of modern engineering mechanics, Stephen Timoshenko (1868–1972) taught for decades at Stanford University. His seminal engineering texts remain in wide use.
网友对History of Strength of Materials的评论
我比较喜欢看历史书。这本也是历史的，可是很特别，因为它不是跟政治、经济。社会有关的，而是跟科学有关。虽然笔者是一位科学家，但是他语言水平相对来说是非常高的。我真的佩服这种人。看了这本书，不仅仅知道材料力学的历史，而且还学到很多其他的知识，例如：一些发达国家发达的起点、英语单词，句法，表达方法等等。直接的说，这本书是一本相当好的书之一。
Timoshenko是世界著名力学大师，他写的系列著作都值得收藏。这本著作写得是与材料力学相关的力学史。学力学知识，更要知道力学史，有助于培养创新思维和创新能力。非常值得一读的好书。
铁木辛柯的经典书籍《材料力学史》，可惜打折太少！价格稍贵！
书很好，大家之作，值得学习。就是有点贵
