Mechanics of Materials 6th Revised edition [Multiple-component retail product]

This engineering textbook introduces mathematical techniques and the physical properties of common materials for analyzing the mechanical behavior of bars with axial loads, shafts in torsion, beams in bending, and columns in compression. The sixth edition adds two sections on singularity functions. The CD-ROM contains six tutorials. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Now featuring the problem-solving CD-ROM, StressAlyzer, the Sixth Edition of this book continues its tradition as the leading text in Mechanics of Materials. With its hallmark clarity and accuracy, this text develops student understanding along with analytical and problem-solving skills. The main topics are the analysis and design of structural members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, bending, and more. The book includes more material than can be taught in a single course so instructors have the opportunity to select the topics they wish to cover.
