• This listing is for Formulas for Stress and Strain by Raymond J. Roark, an English-language hardcover engineering handbook published in 1943 by McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., New York and London.
• This volume demonstrates times long ago when textbook makers respected their audience's ability to learn well-presented information without watering down the materials as is done so much today.
• Format: maroon cloth hardcover with black and gilt spine title panel; advanced technical reference for adult and further education in mechanical and constructional engineering.
• Second edition, sixth impression, with copyright dates 1938 and 1943; authored by Roark while serving as Professor of Mechanics at the University of Wisconsin.
• Part I, "Definitions and Symbols," introduces fundamental stress and strain terminology and summarizes the symbols and units used throughout the handbook.
• Part II, "Facts; Principles; Methods," discusses the behavior of bodies under stress, equations of motion and equilibrium, strain-energy and least-work methods, dimensional analysis, experimental methods including strain gauges and photoelasticity, and geometric properties of plane areas.
• Part III, "Formulas and Examples," presents worked examples and extensive tables of formulas for tension, compression, shear and combined stress, beam flexure of straight and curved bars, torsion, flat plates, columns and other compression members, pressure vessels and pipes, and bodies under direct bearing and shear stress.
• Later chapters address elastic stability, dynamic and temperature stresses in rotating rings, disks, and structural members, followed by miscellaneous tables on stress concentration factors, rupture factors, and material properties, plus a detailed index.
• Illustrated throughout with mathematical formulas, diagrams, graphs, and tabular data that support advanced mechanical and structural analysis and design work.
• Intended as a compact, comprehensive reference for practicing engineers, designers, and advanced students needing ready access to strength of materials and stress analysis formulas.

• Condition: Quite a sought-after scarce vintage McGraw-Hill maroon cloth hardcover showing moderate exterior shelf wear with rubbing, scattered small white spots, light scratches to the boards, and fraying at the corners and spine ends. Binding remains tight and square with hinges intact and the text block secure. Interior pages are mildly age-toned but clean and fully legible, with diagrams and tables crisp. Previous owner names, dates, and an ink address stamp appear on the front and rear endpapers. Dust jacket not included.
