Mechanics of Materials

James Gere

Master two essential subjects in engineering mechanics--statics and mechanics of materials--with the rigorous, complete, and integrated treatment found in STATICS AND MECHANICS OF MATERIALS. This book helps readers establish a strong foundation for further study in mechanics that is essential for mechanical, structural, civil, biomedical, petroleum, nuclear, aeronautical, and aerospace engineers. The authors present numerous practical problems based on real structures, using state-of-the-art graphics, photographs, and detailed drawings of free-body diagrams. All example problems and end-of-chapter problem follow a comprehensive, organized, and systematic Four-Step Problem-Solving Approach to help readers strengthen important problem-solving skills and gain new insight into methods for dissecting and solving problems. The free website also contains nearly 200 FE-type review problems to help prepare for success on the FE Exams.

Statics and Mechanics of Materials

MECHANICS OF MATERIALS BRIEF EDITION by Gere and Goodno presents thorough and in-depth coverage of the essential topics required for an introductory course in Mechanics of Materials. This user-friendly text gives complete discussions with an emphasis on need to know material with a minimization of nice to know content. Topics considered beyond the scope of a first course in the subject matter have been eliminated to better tailor the text to the introductory course. Continuing the tradition of hallmark clarity and accuracy found in all 7 full editions of Mechanics of Materials, this text develops student understanding along with analytical and problem-solving skills. The main topics include analysis and design of structural members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, bending, and more.
