Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Learning System

The well-regarded materials science textbook, updated for enhanced learning and current content

Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Learning System, 5th Edition helps engineering students visualize how materials move and change better than any other course available. This text focuses on helping learners develop practical skills, encouraging them to recognize fundamental concepts relevant to specific situations, identify equations needed to solve problems, and engage critically with literature in the field. In this new edition, hundreds of new problems―including over 200 problems with video solutions―have been added to enhance the flexibility and robustness of the course.

With WileyPLUS, this course contains a rich selection of online content and interactive materials, including animations, tutorial videos, and worked problems―many of which are new and expanded in this 5th Edition. An emphasis on critical thinking forms the foundation of Mechanics of Materials in this revised edition. From basic concepts of stress and strain to more advanced topics like beam deflections and combined loads, this book provides students with everything they need to embark on successful careers in materials and mechanical engineering.

• Introduces students to the core concepts of material mechanics and presents the latest methods and current problems in the field
