Den Hartog, then Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wrote \u003ci\u003eStrength of Materials, \u003c\/i\u003ean elementary text that still enjoys great popularity in engineering schools throughout the world. Widely used as a classroom resource, it has also become a favorite reference and refresher on the subject among engineers everywhere.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first paperback edition of an equally successful text by this highly respected engineer and author. \u003ci\u003eAdvanced Strength of Materials \u003c\/i\u003etakes this important subject into areas \u003ci\u003eof \u003c\/i\u003egreater difficulty, masterfully bridging its elementary aspects and its most formidable advanced reaches. The book reflects Den Hartog's impressive talent for making lively, discursive and often witty presentations of his subject, and his unique ability to combine the scholarly insight of a distinguished scientist with the practical, problem-solving orientation of an experienced industrial engineer.\u003cbr\u003eThe concepts here explored in depth include torsion, rotating disks, membrane stresses in shells, bending of flat plates, beams on elastic foundation, the two-dimensional theory of elasticity, the energy method and buckling. The presentation is aimed at the student who has a one-semester course in elementary strength of materials. The book includes an especially thorough and valuable section of problems and answers which give both students and professionals practice in techniques and clear illustrations of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ. P. Den Hartog: The Reprint Engineer \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eJ. P. Den Hartog (1901-1989), who taught for most of his career at MIT, was one of the founders of the Dover reprint program in engineering. As the author of several books that Dover reprinted and still has in print, and as an advisor from the 1950s until just a few years before his death in 1989, Professor Den Hartog gave invaluable advice concerning books of lasting interest and importance in his field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot many books in engineering have a productive shelf life spanning several decades. Among the exceptions are these four books of Professor Den Hartog, which Dover reprinted and occasionally revised in later printings from 1961 through 1987: \u003ci\u003eMechanics, \u003c\/i\u003e 1961, \u003ci\u003eStrength of Materials, \u003c\/i\u003e 1961, \u003ci\u003eMechanical Vibrations, \u003c\/i\u003e 1985, and \u003ci\u003eAdvanced Strength of Materials, \u003c\/i\u003e1987. Still widely read and cited by authors in these areas, Den Hartog's books are a tribute to his gift for exposition and clarity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe J. P.
