Title: Beware!
Review: This textbook on advanced stress and strain analysis has the potential to become a good teaching tool and reference. Unfortunately, the first edition does not appear to have been edited before publication and is replete with typographical errors and incorrect formulae. Some of the figures have been (re-?)drawn incorrectly. Several of the (typed) answers in the Solutions Manual are wrong. In addition, the author makes a number of key assumptions which are unstated.We are well beyond the errata sheet stage here. Learn from my mistake: DO NOT use this text for teaching until it is revised.
