Partial Differential Equations in Mechanics 2

Rating:
Summary: Joe Walker in Jackson, MS
Review: I bought this text book because I was trying to solve the biharmonic equation for the bending of thin plates or slabs using the separation of variables technique. What I found in Section 8.11.13 on page 339 is exactly what I was looking for. I liked Partial Diffential Equations in Mechanics 2 so well that I also ordered Partial Differential Equations in Mechanics 1 as well. I like it equally well. I have not examined other sections as thoroughly as Section 8.11 in PDE Mechanics 2. But I can tell you that this is an excellent reference to have if you plan on solving PDEs.

I have also bought the following titles in reference to the bending of thin plates or slabs:

1. Handbook of Structural Engineering by CHEN ISBN 0-8493-2674-5
2. Advanced Mechanics of Materials ISBN 0-471-55157-0
3. Partial Differential Equations in Mechanics 1 ISBN 3-540-67283-4
4. Mechanics of Structures Variational and Computational Methods ISBN 0-8493-4435-2
5. Engineering Solid Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications ISBN 0-8493-1607-3
6. Continuum Mechanics for Engineers ISBN 0-8493-1855-6
7. Reinforced Concrete Slabs ISBN 0-471-34850-3
8. Shaum's Outline Fourier Analysis with Applications to Boundary Value Problems ISBN 0-07-060219-0
