Review
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A users guideBy Dr. Pauleen LaneClayton et al have produced a useful guide that goes beyond the material usually taught at UG level. It will be helpful to both practicing engineers and to those on Masters level courses looking for a greater depth of theory and examples of applications. The book is well-ordered; assuming little prior knowledge but goes close to the limits of current theory and practice. It has a range of worked examples which are helpful to both students and practioners as well as clear graphics to illustrate problems. A useful book to have on the shelf for those more difficult design cases or to extend your knowledge of the subject. It is now a little dated in terms of the latest materials and computer analysis techniques but still provides essential background theory for all.
