Strength of Materials / James M. Gere and Barry J. Goodno

It includes Index.

With its hallmark clarity and accuracy, 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. The book includes more material than can be taught in a single course giving instructors the opportunity to select the topics they wish to cover while leaving any remaining material as a valuable student reference.

Features:
* Clarity and Accuracy: Considerable effort was spent in designing, checking, and proofreading the text and figures
* Problems: The text offers more than 500 problems for homework assignments and classroom discussions. The exercises are arranged in order of difficulty with the lengthy or more difficult problems indicated by one or more stars
* Examples: Numerous examples illustrate the theoretical concepts and show how those concepts may be used in practical situations
