This second edition is an introductory book on the subject of Mechanics of Materials with a focus on integrating the basics of Finite Element Analysis. Mechanics of Materials provides the basis for understanding structural mechanics in engineering systems such as buildings, bridges, vehicles, and machines.This new edition incorporates the fundamentals of the subject into analytical methods, modeling approaches, numerical methods, experimental procedures, numerical evaluation procedures, and design techniques. It introduces the fundamentals, and then moves on to more advanced concepts and applications. It discusses analytical methods using simple mathematics, examples and experimental techniques, and it includes a large number of worked examples and case studies that illustrate practical and real-world usage.Mechanics of Materials serves as both a textbook and a reference book for engineering students and practicing professionals.A solutions manual and figures slides are valuable for all qualified textbook adoptions.
