For undergraduate courses in statics and mechanics of materials A proven approach to conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. Statics and Mechanics of Materials, 6th Edition in SI Units, combines two of the author's bestselling texts, Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Mechanics of Materials, with a firm focus on concepts that are commonly encountered in engineering practice. This text features a thorough presentation of the theory and applications of the most fundamental topics of these two important branches of mechanics. It empowers students to succeed by drawing upon Professor Hibbeler's decades of classroom experience and knowledge of how students learn. The text is shaped by the suggestions of hundreds of peer reviewers and many of his students.

R.C. Hibbeler graduated from the University of Illinois-Urbana with a B.S. in Civil Engineering (major in Structures) and an M.S. in Nuclear Engineering. He obtained his PhD in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Northwestern University. Professor Hibbelers professional experience includes postdoctoral work in reactor safety and analysis at Argonne National Laboratory, and structural and stress analysis work at Chicago Bridge and Iron, as well as at Sargent and Lundy in Chicago. He has practiced engineering in Ohio, New York, and Louisiana.
