Abstract

In the preceding chapters methods were developed and discussed for the analysis of members subjected to one type of load only. For example, Chapter 3 dealt with members subjected only to axial loads, Chapter 4 with members subjected only to torsional loads, and Chapter 5 with members subjected only to flexural loads. There are numerous engineering situations relating to structural and machine applications, however, in which members are subjected to the simultaneous action of two or more types of loads.
