Mechanics of Materials, SI Edition

For undergraduate courses in mechanics of materials.A proven approach to conceptual understanding and problem-solving skillsMechanics of Materials excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of mechanics of materials principles. Mechanics of Materials empowers students to succeed by drawing upon Professor Hibbeler's decades of classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn. The text is shaped by the comments and suggestions of hundreds of reviewers in the teaching profession, as well as many of his students.The 11th Edition is linked to new videos that cover the lecture material, the example problems and the Fundamental Problems. The videos are designed to actively engage the student in the material and the solution process.Hallmark Features of This TitleKey Author Content Enhances Conceptual UnderstandingProcedures for Analysis provide a logical, orderly method for analyzing general and specific mechanics problems.Important Points summarize 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.Real-world Problem Types Connect Theory to ApplicationConceptual 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 and Updated Features of This TitleUPDATED: Re-written material provides further clarification of concepts and enhanced accuracy.UPDATED: New photos and photorealistic art show how the principles apply to real-world situations and how materials behave under load.UPDATED: Approximately 30% new problems involve applications to many different fields of engineering.UPDATED: Improved Preliminary and Fundamental Problems offer more chances for students to practice basic applications and develop their problem-solving skills.
