Worked Examples in Advanced Mechanics of Materials Using MATLAB is a comprehensive guide for students, instructors, and practicing engineers seeking to deepen their understanding of advanced solid mechanics through hands-on computational techniques. Bridging the gap between theoretical formulation and practical application, this book presents a carefully curated set of worked examples that illustrate the power of MATLAB in solving complex problems in elasticity, plasticity, structural analysis, and failure mechanics.

The book is structured to provide a seamless progression from fundamental concepts to advanced problem-solving strategies. Topics covered include stress and strain transformations, energy methods, buckling and stability, torsion of non-circular sections, stress concentrations, curved beam theory, and advanced failure theories. Each topic is introduced with a brief theoretical overview, followed by step-by-step MATLAB implementations, complete with annotations and graphical illustrations.

Key features of the book include:

Whether used as a course supplement, tutorial guide, or professional reference, this book equips readers with the tools and confidence to apply advanced mechanics of materials in modern engineering practice. Its emphasis on worked problems, practical application, and computational methods makes it particularly suited for those transitioning from theoretical study to real-world problem-solving.

The book assumes prior knowledge of basic mechanics of materials and introductory MATLAB programming. It complements, rather than replaces, classical texts by focusing on application and computation—an increasingly essential skill in the age of digital engineering.

Ideal for mechanical, civil, aerospace, and materials engineering students, Worked Examples in Advanced Mechanics of Materials Using MATLAB stands as a valuable companion in both academic and professional settings.
