Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

(OP)
Hello all,

I would like to have bibliographic references of books about the mass moment of inertia, area moment of inertia, center of mass. centroids, etc.

Thanks,
Hugo Silva

RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

any standard strength of materials text. have you tried google ??

RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

(OP)
Actually yes. I don't know the keyword I shall use. I only found wikipedia (LOL)


RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

Any textbook about statics and dynamics.

Ok, so now I found one:

Do you think this book is good? : James M. Gere, Barry J. Goodno, "Mechanics of Materials", SI Edition (8th edition)



RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

google "strength of materials"

research any undergrad mech engineering

"Vector Mechanics for Engineers" by Beer and Johnston

RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

try google "area moment of inertia" ... wiki goes into the dynamics of bodies rather than the structural interpretation.

TheTick,

Many thanks,
That book is exactly what I was looking for!!

RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

I tend to think the old ways are the best. I recommend "Strength of Materials Part 1 - Elementary Theory and Problems" by Stephen Timoshenko.

RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

Pretty much any book by Joseph E. Shigley, such as "Mechanical Engineering Design", or the "bible": "Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers", or the trusty standby: "Machinery's Handbook". Also, using those search terms on Amazon produces lots of results.

RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

Beer & Johnson was the introductory textbook that I started with. Information very clear and accessible, as I recall.

"Schiefgehen will, was schiefgehen kann" - das Murphygesetz

RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

I don't know about Johnson, but definitely Beer.

Some of that is to be found in calculus textbooks, I believe.

RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

Mike - I'll drink to that!

RE: Books about Inertia moment, center of mass, centroid: need references

I'd suggest purchasing a copy of Roark. It provides equations for virtually every conceivable form of cross section property, including moments of inertia.

What's wrong with the modern generation of engineers? Why don't they feel that they should have to pay for the tools needed for their profession?
