Design for Static Mechanical Strength is a collection of topics relevant to minimizing mechanical design failure under static loading. As a monograph it attempts to present the essential classic knowledge base of the subject together with a degree of modeling and analytic detail that is complete while exercising brevity. It's content includes stress and strain, theories of failure, factors of safety, stress concentrations, material properties and the effect of mechanical and thermal processing on metal properties.
