Mathcad Engineering Libraries are delivered in E-books, which give you interactive, live access to everything you’d find in hard copy reference books. These E-books can be viewed in Mathcad and have full access to all of Mathcad’s calculation and graphing features. You can modify the inputs and equations to build your own models, explore the content by working directly in the book, or drag content into your own Mathcad worksheets.

Roark’s Formulas for Stress and Strain, 6th Edition – Receive the complete edition, by Warren C. Young with more than 1,000 separate design cases covering straight beams and bars, curved beams, plates and shells. Also included are all 37 tables of formulas in Roark’s and more than 75 detailed example problems worked out in Mathcad.

Sample Topics–Column buckling and elastic stability; stress, force and deflection calculations for beams; combined stress formulas; curvedbeam cross-section properties; moments of inertia; torsional loading; beam analysis for a varying section; stresses and deflection of flat plates; discontinuity analysis results at the junction of shells and plates; natural frequencies of plates; bending and membrane stresses of thinwalled pressure vessels; radial displacements; buckling of shells. See Example: Properties of a Tee Section.

Building Thermal Analysis – This E-book couples real-life examples of building thermal design problems with theory, creating an informative group of design documents. This E-book is an extremely useful design tool for engineers and architects who analyze heat transfer in buildings.

Sample Topics–Steady state heat conduction in multi-layered walls and pipes; transient heat conduction in buildings; analysis of heat conduction in walls; periodic heat flow in multi-layered walls; convection and infiltration in rooms and cavities; solar radiation; psychometry and thermal comfort.

Building Structural Design: Reinforced Concrete and Structural Steel Applications– This E-book is designed for structural and civil engineers, it features valuable Mathcad problem-solving techniques in the context of common engineering calculations for structural design. Design applications are based on the requirements of ACI 318 89 (revised 1992); the AISC Specification, 1989 (ASD); ASCE Standard 7; and the Uniform Building Code, 1991. Reinforced concrete applications also include a material properties section where the user may specify the strength and unit weight of the concrete and the yield strength of the reinforcement.

Sample Topics – Analysis of simple beams and beams with end moments; section properties of composite steel beams; structural steel and reinforced concrete columns; effective length factors; reinforced concrete flat plates; spread footings and pile caps; retaining walls and anchored bulkheads; shear stud capacities.
