Review
“This text describes the major challenge from the classical beam theory, and then presents the transformation method, plus a few examples. I think the author’s presentation style is very systematic and clear.” — L.R. Xu, Vanderbilt University

“The best features of this text include its clear presentation of course materials, and very good examples.” — L.R. Xu, Vanderbilt University

“I enjoy teaching this book. The best MOM book on the market for the students.” — Akthem Al-Manaseer, San Jose State University

“It is well organized with objectives, important points, procedures, and examples set out from the text. It has lots of problems to select from.” — Cliff Lissenden, Penn State

“There are many worked examples throughout the book. And these do not skip steps, which is important to the majority of learners.” — Cliff Lissenden, Penn State

“The author has done an excellent job conveying the concepts. The textbook is easy to follow and all the ideas are clearly presented.” — Yabin Liao, Arizona State University

“Very detailed examples; beautiful and clear art work; lots of problems; and a very good coverage of all the basic concepts.” — Yabin Liao, Arizona State University

“The author presents the material as an introduction to the solution of real world design and analysis problems without sacrificing the theoretical basis of each topic.” — John F. Oyler, University of Pittsburgh

“This is one of the premier books for teaching strength of materials.” — Julio Ramirez, Purdue University

“Presentation (first rate), instructor resources, and quantity of examples and problems are the top features of this book.” — Julio Ramirez, Purdue University

From the Back Cover

This book provides a clear, comprehensive presentation of 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. Hibbeler combines a fluid writing style, cohesive organization, outstanding illustrations, and dynamic use of exercises, examples, and free body diagrams to help prepare tomorrow's engineers.

FEATURES/BENEFITS

• UNIQUE—"Procedures for Analysis" sections—Now broken into bulleted lists for easier comprehension.
  • Provides a logical and orderly manner for applying theory.
• NEW—"Important Points" feature added to the book.
  • Provides a review of the most important concepts in a section and highlights the most significant points that should be realized when applying the theory to solve problems.
• NEW—Many new photos added.
  • Helps readers connect with real world situations.
• Reworked sections on Mohr's Circle and deflections.
• Contains over 1,500 homework problems, almost 400 new to this edition. -The problems balance FPS and SI units and are arranged in an increasing order of difficulty so the reader can evaluate their understanding of the material. The answers to all but every fourth problem are listed in the back of the book.
• Over 200 example problems that illustrate the application of theory to engineering problems provided.
• Advanced material such as inelastic loadings, stress concentrations, residual stress, stresses in curved and composite beams, and energy methods are included.
• Guides readers through numerous pedagogical features—Including chapter objectives, boxed equations, and boldfaced headings and sub-headings. The book is paginated so topics and examples appear on facing pages, eliminating the need to keep flipping pages back and forth.
• Presents shear and bending moment diagrams early in Chapter 6 and refers to them throughout the remainder of the piece.

About the Author
Russell .C. Hibbeler graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana with a BS in Civil Engineering (major in Structures) and an MS in Nuclear Engineering. He obtained his PhD in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Northwestern University. Hibbeler’s professional experience includes postdoctoral work in reactor safety and analysis at Argonne National Laboratory, and structural work at Chicago Bridge and Iron, as well as Sargent and Lundy in Tucson. He has practiced engineering in Ohio, New York, and Louisiana. Hibbeler currently teaches at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette. In the past he has taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana, Youngstown State University, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Union College.

About the Adaptor
Fan Sau Cheong who teaches at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, received his PhD from the University of Hong Kong. Professor Fan is also Deputy Director, Centre for Advanced Numerical Engineering Simulations (CANES) at NTU. His industrial experience includes work and research on bridges, tall buildings, shell structures, jetties, pavements, cable structures, glass diaphragm walls and more. Professor Fan was also the adaptor for the 5th, 6th and 7th SI editions of Hibbeler’s Mechanics of Materials, and the 11th & 12th SI edition of Hibbeler’s Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics.
