Mechanics of Materials in SI Unit

Mechanics of Materials excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of mechanics of materials principles. Drawing upon his decades of classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn, Professor Hibbeler provides highly visual, methodical applications to help you conceptualise and master difficult concepts. A variety of problem types stress realistic situations encountered in the field, with several levels of difficulty to give you the practice you need to excel in your courses and career.

The 11th Edition features approximately 30%, or about 430 problems, which involve applications to many different fields of engineering.

Key features;

• Procedures for Analysis provide a logical, orderly method for analysing general and specific mechanics problems.
• Important Points summarise crucial concepts and what should be known to apply the theory to solve problems.
• End-of-Chapter Reviews provide a concise self-study tool. Each important point is accompanied by the relevant equation and art.
• Conceptual Problems engage students in thinking through a real-life situation depicted in a photo.
• Free-Body Diagram Problems let students practice key skills in solving equilibrium problems.
• Homework Problems with various levels of difficulty let students apply their knowledge to realistic situations.

New to this edition;

• Re-written material provides further clarification of concepts and enhanced accuracy.
• New photos and photorealistic art show how the principles apply to real-world situations and how materials behave under load.
• Approximately 30% new problems involve applications to many different fields of engineering.
• Improved Preliminary and Fundamental Problems offer more chances for students to practice basic applications and develop their problem-solving skills. Some new Fundamental Problems have been added, along with their partial solutions.
• End-of-Chapter Review Problems with solutions let students check their work and understanding. Review Problems can also be assigned to test students' skills before class or exams.
