A comment on this book

This book by I. H. Shames is, in one word, a great book for those who want to obtain a deep underestanding about the real world of Mechanics of Materials. With his pleasant way of explanation, Mr. Shames has given a complete and easy to underestand introduction about the most important topics in mechanics of materials like elasticity, plasticity and viscoelasticity and much more. The only thing that I found as a drawback to this book was that despite of it being expensive, it was not in a good shape. The binding was not as good as I expected. It was a library binding book.

My favourite collection

Excellent book in solid mechanics. It provides a comprehensive, readable and organized introduction to elasticity, viscoelasticity, creep, plasticity for graduate students in solid mechanics field. Many top universities in North America recommend/use it as a reference book.In a word,it is one of my best collection in my shelf.
