Book Reviews of Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain
Book Review: Well Thought Out Upgrade from Previous Editions
Summary: 5 Stars
I have three editions of this book: the classic 4th edition, the useless 5th edition and this, the 7th edition.
The 4th edition has simple format, is easy to use, but lacks methods for more sophisticated hand analyses and is sparse on explanations. The 5th is best used for a doorstop.
This edition is an excellent combination of the usefullness of the 4th edition with modern and more advanced methods.
The layout of each section has excellent explanatory material and provides the simple 4th edition type equations backed with more involved/advanced formulas which are very useful.
My hat is off to the authors. This is probably the best reference for those nasty stress and deflection hand calculations we all have to do from time to time.
Book Review: Excellent resource
Summary: 5 Stars
Roark's has been and remains an excellent resource for the structural engineer and designer regardless of the edition. This is a referance I use on a daily basis. Typically the first book I reach for.Book Review: PLEASE LIST EDITION OF BOOK, MARKETPLACE SELLERS
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS NOT A REVIEW ON THIS BOOK --- THIS IS A COMMENT FOR MARKETPLACE SELLERS FOR THIS BOOK AND ALL ENGINEERING BOOKS --- YOU NEED TO LIST WHICH EDITION YOU ARE SELLING, AS THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE BUYERS TO KNOW! DIFFERENT EDITIONS CAN BE IN DIFFERENT UNIT SYSTEMS, AND MOST PEOPLE ONLY WANT TO HAVE A PARTICULAR EDITION (FIRST, LATEST, ETC)! --- THANKS!Book Review: Exelente libro, todo ingeniero Mecanico Debe tener Uno
Summary: 3 Stars
Excelente para consegir la mayoria de las formulas relacionadas con calculos de esfuerzo y deformacion. Contiene cantidad de referencias para cada caso, de ser necesario rpofundizar mas en el tema. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, lo utilizo en todos mis calculos estructurales.Book Review: Roark's has been not been improved
Summary: 3 Stars
The book is now twice the thickness of the 6th Edition book. This makes opening and keeping open the book much more difficult. Also the paper type chosen makes it difficult to turn the pages. I highly recommend keeping the sixth edition until they figure what is truly important to Structural/Mechanical Engineer.
