Mechanics of Materials clearly and thoroughly presents the theory and supports the application of essential mechanics of materials principles. Professor Hibbeler s concise writing style, countless examples, and stunning four-color photorealistic art program all shaped by the comments and suggestions of hundreds of colleagues and students help students visualise and master difficult concepts. The Tenth SI Edition retains the hallmark features synonymous with the Hibbeler franchise, but has been enhanced with the most current information, a fresh new layout, added problem solving, and increased flexibility in the way topics are covered in class.
