Product Details
|
This clear, comprehensive presentation discusses both the theory and applications of mechanics of materials. It examines the physical behavior of materials under load, then proceeds to model this behavior to development theory. Combines a fluid writing style, cohesive organization, outstanding illustrations, and dynamic use of exercises, examples, and free body diagrams. Offers a four-color, photorealistic art program. Features Hibbeler's hallmark triple-accuracy checking and Procedures for Analysis sections. Available at the same price as the fifth edition. A useful, thorough reference for engineers.

Okay, but poor discussion,
By "mr303" (Lake Butler, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mechanics of Materials (Hardcover)
I used this book for an engineering mechanics course. I still have it. I decided to keep it instead of sell it. The book is very well illustrated and full of problems with the answers in the back of the book. The discussions are brief and poorly developed. They do not facilitate an intuitive understanding of the subject material. The author seems to believe you will develop theoretical understanding by working problems. Alas, the approach will probably result in a good grade but not in a solid understanding. If you are an atypical sudent genuinely searching for subject mastery, this book is of marginal value. Its value is largley in the illustrations alone. I have found that having multiple books on the same subject is often the best learning approach. Since one author may cover one subject well and fall short where another shines.

Exactly the textbook required for the course at a bit of a discount. Shipping was only 3 days. Pretty good explanations and diagrams inside to help understand the material.

useful and practical book,
By Stephen (Edmonds, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mechanics of Materials (Hardcover)
I was a pre-engineering student in Seattle. This book have plenty of examples in which I can follow step by step. The homework problems are useful, practical and innovative in this book. It help us to visualize the practical problems outside the school. Thus, this is very helpful for the engineering students, especially Civil and structral, to build up the fundamental concept of materials. Nevertheless, this class is not easy. It is hard to undersatnd the concept of Materials for the beginner. It is very helpful for students to have peer group or ask for your professor to have further explanations or examples.
