A strong conceptual understanding is essential for solving problems successfully. This edition of Mechanics of Materials helps instructors and students achieve this goal by providing strong understanding and logical analysis of the concepts using SI units, which also helps identify the applications in designing actual engineering structures and machine components. With new concepts presented in a simplified and detailed manner, a number of Advanced or Specialty sections are included. To keep these distinct and optional, these are marked with asterisk so users can choose whether or not to read. Using numerous engineering examples and end-of-chapter homework problems, the book helps the readers to easily understand and relate to theory and application.
