Description
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 S/ 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.
McGraw Hill's Connect is available as an optional add on item. Connect is an integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver exactly what they need, when they need it, and how they need it so that class time is more effective. Connect allows instructors to assign assignments and tests easily and automatically grades and records scores of the student's work.
