Mechanics of materials

Synopsis

For undergraduate Mechanics of Materials courses in Mechanical, Civil, and Aerospace Engineering departments. This text provides a clear, comprehensive presentation of both the theory and applications of mechanics of materials. It examines the physical behavior of materials under load, then proceeds to model this behavior to development theory. The contents of each chapter are organized into well-defined units that allow instructors great flexibility in course emphasis. Hibbeler combines a fluid writing style, cohesive organization, outstanding illustrations, and dynamic use of exercises, examples, and free body diagrams to help prepare tomorrows engineers. - Procedures for Analysis sections - Now broken into bulleted lists for easier comprehension, provides a logical and orderly manner for applying theory. - NEW - Important Points feature added to the text, provides a review of the most important concepts in a section and highlights the most significant points that should be realized when applying the theory to solve problems. - NEW - Many new photos added, helps students connect with real world situations. - Reworked sections on Mohrs Circle and deflections. - Over 1,500 home
