Mechanics of Materials (6th Edition)

Mechanics of Materials (Sixth Edition)
By Ferdinand P. Beer, E. Russell Johnston Jr., John T. DeWolf, and David F. Mazurek

The uncontested leader for the teaching of solid mechanics, used by thousands of students around the globe since its original publication in 1981. It provides a precise presentation of the subject, illustrated throughout with numerous engineering examples that help students connect underlying theory to real application. The tried-and-true methodology behind its structure — detailed worked examples, carefully graded homework problems, and an accompanying solutions manual known for exceptional accuracy — gives students the best possible opportunity to succeed in the course. An appendix maps the book's content directly onto the Mechanics of Materials portion of the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination, giving students a built-in review path for professional licensure.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Introduction and the concept of stress
• Stress and strain under axial loading
• Torsion
• Pure bending
• Analysis and design of beams for bending
• Shearing stresses in beams and thin-walled members
• Transformations of stress and strain
• Principal stresses under a given loading
• Deflection of beams
• Columns and buckling

Key features:

• Long-standing, globally used standard text for solid mechanics coursework
• Solutions manual maintains a tradition of exceptional accuracy, kept to one page per problem for easy reference
• Direct mapping to FE Exam topics, with review problems included
• Strong balance of theoretical rigor and practical, worked engineering examples
• Authored by a team combining original founding authors with later academic contributors in civil and structural engineering

Perfect for:

• Civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering students studying solid mechanics
• Students preparing for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination
• Faculty teaching mechanics of materials or strength of materials courses
• Practicing engineers needing a trusted mechanics reference
