Mechanics Of Materials (SI Units) is an academic book that helps students understand the concepts related to application and theory of structural analysis of beams, frames and trusses in a more comprehensive and detailed manner. Summary Of The Book Mechanics Of Materials (SI Units) is a student friendly book with photorealistic art programmes to help engineering students understand complex concepts related to the mechanism of materials. With more examples, procedures for analysis and problem solving sections that are written in an easy and straightforward manner, this edition has been revised from the previous edition. Allowing the readers to understand the logical reasoning during the application of theories, Mechanics Of Materials (SI Units) places equal emphasis on both modeling and analyzing a structure. Well defined chapters in the book offer great flexibility to both the teachers and readers. With over 1000 homework problems and 450 new problems, the book depicts all the situations that engineers are likely to encounter during their career. Arranged in order of difficulty, it would help the students to evaluate their understanding of various materials. Also providing answers to all the questions except the fourth problem, the book helps students grasp the concepts in a much better manner. Additionally, features like important points and photographs, allows students to analyze and comprehend important concepts. Furthermore, advanced topics like stress concentrations, residual stress, energy methods, stresses in curved and composite beams and hallmark photographs help the readers understand real situations in the engineering world. Some of the chapters that are dealt with in the book include Axial Load, Buckling of Columns, Transverse Shear, Strain, Bending, Combined Loadings, Strain Transformation, Mechanical Properties of Material and Design of Beams and Shafts. Mechanics Of Materials (SI Units) has more examples, cohesive organization, free body diagrams and the book is written in a very simple and fluid manner. About R. C. Hibbeler R. C.
