Mechanics of Materials helps students improve physical and intuitive understanding of the ideas underlying the mechanics of materials; grasp big picture ideas; and use the subject to solve problems–everything it takes to genuinely learn how the forces acting on a material relate to its deformation and failure.

This book provides the basis for understanding structural mechanics in engineering systems such as buildings, bridges,machines and much more.

Mechanics of Materials is a result of the author's experience in teaching an undergraduate courses. This book is suitable for anyone with a basic engineering background, or for practicing professionals.
