Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain

[buick455]

I just ordered Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain as it is a common reference here at work. I was wondering who uses it on a reqular basis and if anyone used it during the exam.

It's helpful for when I am analyzing a shell of some sort. There are tables that show different shapes with an applied uniform load or deflection.

I never used it for the exam but I use it all of the time at work.

I'd rather use that book than fire up the FE modeler.

Didn't use it much if at all while preparing for the exam. Brought it to the exam and never opened it.

I never used it on the exam, but find I refer to it a fair amount at work.
