Mechanics of Materials
The main objective of a basic mechanics course should be to develop in the engineering student
the ability to analyze a given problem in a simple and logical manner and to apply to its
solution a few fundamental and well-understood principles. This text is designed for the first
course in mechanics of materials—or strength of materials—offered to engineering students in
the sophomore or junior year. The authors hope that it will help instructors achieve this goal
in that particular course in the same way that their other texts may have helped them in statics
and dynamics. To assist in this goal, the seventh edition has undergone a complete edit of the
language to make the book easier to read.
In this text the study of the mechanics of materials is based on the understanding of a few basic
concepts and on the use of simplified models. This approach makes it possible to develop all
the necessary formulas in a rational and logical manner, and to indicate clearly the conditions
under which they can be safely applied to the analysis and design of actual engineering structures
and machine components.
