Methods for measuring solid mechanics

This second edition surveys experimental methods for measuring forces, pressures, displacement, stress, strain, and fracture-mechanics parameters, using electrical and optical approaches. Its expanded and revised material includes elastic-plastic fracture mechanics, photoelasticity, digital image correlation (DIC), split Hopkinson pressure bar techniques for soft materials, and nanoscale measurement methods. The book’s scope reflects a field that has grown beyond the narrower subject suggested by its predecessor’s title, *Experimental Stress Analysis*.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and practitioners seeking an overview of experimental measurement methods in solid mechanics.
  • Readers interested in optical or electrical approaches to measuring material behavior.
  • Those looking for coverage of DIC, photoelasticity, or nanoscale measurement techniques.

Book overview

In this revised second edition of Experimental Solid Mechanics we have retained all the essential features of the first edition but have also modified and added several new sections to ensure coverage of the latest information. We have added information on elastic-plastic fracture mechanics in Chapter 4. Chapters 10 and 11 have been condensed and some new sections have been added to emphasize salient aspects of photoelasticity. Chapter 15 has been completely rewritten to include the latest developments in the DIC technique. Chapter 17 now includes more discussion on split Hopkinson pressure bar techniques for soft materials. Chapter 18 has been considerably expanded to include new techniques for nanoscale measurements. The material in this book has evolved from the 4th edition of Experimental Stress Analysis. The title change reflects the fact that the field today is much broader than it was in 1965 when the first edition of Experimental Stress Analysis was published. Experimental Solid Mechanics describes methods used to measure forces, pressures, displacements, stresses, strains and fracture mechanics parameters. Measurements described include electrical and optical methods.
