Mechanics of Materials

This is a classic text which has set the standard for courses in mechanics and strength of materials. A perennial best-seller on the PWS list, it emphasizes the fundamental concepts and applications of strength of materials while developing students analytical and problem solving skills. The Fourth Edition has been fully revised to include more teaching detail in the text explanations and worked examples, a more natural and logical topic sequence, and enhanced problem sets. The artwork in this edition has been completely redone, and a new Mathcad based computer supplement has been added.
