Title: Thorough and Carefully Written Introduction
Product review: In my opinion this book is a thorough and carefully written introduction into the topic of stress analysis of machinery and structures. The book covers the theory of the basic concepts. The author paid attention to carefully explain the important ideas.First, the fundamental concepts of strain gages and strain gage types are explored. Second, the fundamental concepts of stress-strain analysis are reviewed. What follows is a thorough development of the circuit equations, from the elementary circuits to the Wheatstone Bridge. Then, certain effects are addressed and data analysis is discussed.Since this book is an introduction to the topic it is not necessarily a practical handbook to perform stress analysis. But I think it provides the background to use such a handbook.
