Preface to Mechanics of Materials PDF

As publishers of the books written by Ferd Beer and Russ Johnston, we are sometimes requested how did they occur to put in writing the books collectively, with one of them at Lehigh and the opposite on the College of Connecticut.

The reply to this query is straightforward. Russ Johnston’s first educating appointment was within the Division of Civil Engineering and Mechanics at Lehigh College.

There he met Ferd Beer, who had joined that division two years earlier and was in cost of the programs in mechanics (Mechanics of Materials).

Born in France and educated in France and Switzerland (he held an M.S. diploma from the Sorbonne and an Sc.D. diploma within the area of theoretical mechanics from the College of Geneva),

Ferd had come to america after serving within the French military throughout the early half of World Conflict II and had taught for 4 years at Williams School within the Williams-MIT joint arts and engineering program (Mechanics of Materials).

Born in Philadelphia, Russ had obtained a B.S. diploma in civil engineering from the College of Delaware and an Sc.D. diploma within the area of structural engineering from MIT (Mechanics of Materials).

Ferd was delighted to find that the younger man who had been employed mainly to show graduate structural engineering programs was not solely keen however keen to assist him reorganize the mechanics programs.

Each believed that these programs ought to be taught from just a few primary ideas and that the assorted ideas concerned can be greatest understood and remembered by the scholars in the event that they have been introduced to them in a graphic approach.

Collectively they wrote lecture notes in statics and dynamics, to which they later added issues they felt would attraction to future engineers, and shortly they produced the manuscript of the primary version of Mechanics for Engineers.

The second version of Mechanics for Engineers and the primary version of Vector Mechanics for Engineers discovered Russ Johnston at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the subsequent editions on the College of Connecticut.

Within the meantime, each Ferd and Russ had assumed administrative obligations of their departments, and each have been concerned in analysis, consulting, and supervising graduate college students—Ferd within the space of stochastic processes and random vibrations,

and Russ within the space of elastic stability and structural evaluation and design. Nevertheless, their curiosity in enhancing the educating of the fundamental mechanics programs had not subsided,

and so they each taught sections of these programs as they saved revising their texts and commenced writing collectively the manuscript of the primary version of Mechanics of Materials.

By their respective regional sections of the American Society for Engineering Schooling, and so they each acquired the Distinguished Educator Award from the Mechanics Division of the identical society.
Ferd and Russ’s contributions to engineering training earned them a quantity of honors and awards. They have been introduced with the Western Electrical Fund Award for excellence within the instruction of engineering college students.
