Mechanics of Materials, International Adaptation, 4e

Pages: 864, Specialty: Mechanical Engineering, Publisher: Wiley, Publication Year: 2021, Cover: Paperback, Dimensions: 204x252x33mm Mechanics of Materials provides an in-depth yet accessible introduction to the behavior of solid materials under various stresses and strains. Emphasizing the three key concepts of deformable-body mechanics-equilibrium, material behavior, and geometry of deformation-this popular textbook covers the fundamental concepts of the subject while helping students strengthen their problem-solving skills. Throughout the text, students are taught to apply an effective four-step methodology to solve numerous example problems and understand the underlying principles of each application. Focusing primarily on the behavior of solids under static-loading conditions, the text thoroughly prepares students for subsequent courses in solids and structures involving more complex engineering analyses and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE). The text provides ample, fu
