Mechanics of Materials
by Ferdinand Beer, Jr., E. Russell Johnston, John DeWolf, David Mazurek

Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math
ISBN: 0073380288

Beer and Johnston's Mechanics of Materials is the uncontested leader for the teaching of solid mechanics. Used by thousands of students around the globe since its publication in 1981, Mechanics of Materials, provides a precise presentation of the subject illustrated with numerous engineering examples that students both understand and relate to theory and application.

The tried and true methodology for presenting material gives your student the best opportunity to succeed in this course. From the detailed examples, to the homework problems, to the carefully developed solutions manual, you and your students can be confident the material is clearly explained and accurately represented.

Mechanics of Materials
by James M. Gere, Barry J. Goodno

Publisher: Cengage Learning
ISBN: 1111577730

The Eighth Edition of MECHANICS OF MATERIALS continues its tradition as one of the leading texts on the market. 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.

Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Learning System
by Timothy A. Philpot

Publisher: Wiley
ISBN: 1118083474

Philpot helps mechanical engineers visualise key mechanics of materials concepts better than any text available, following a sound problem solving methodology while thoroughly covering all the basics.

This edition seamlessly integrates the author’s award winning Mecmovies software with the chapters. It incorporates approximately 150 new problems to help students learn how to apply the material. New coverage is included on singularity functions. Content has also been revised throughout the text to provide mechanical engineers with the latest information in the field.

Mechanics of Materials
by William F. Riley, Leroy D. Sturges, Don H. Morris

Publisher: Wiley
ISBN: 047170511X

This leading book in the field focuses on what materials specifications and design are most effective based on function and actual load-carrying capacity. Written in an accessible style, it emphasizes the basics, such as design, equilibrium, material behavior and geometry of deformation in simple structures or machines.

Readers will also find a thorough treatment of stress, strain, and the stress-strain relationships. These topics are covered before the customary treatments of axial loading, torsion, flexure, and buckling.

Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Applied Elasticity
by Saul K. Fenster, Ansel C. Ugural, Asel C. Ugural

Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR
ISBN: 0137079206

New edition of a text designed for courses subsequent to an elementary treatment of the strength of materials, applicable in aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering curricula, and useful to practicing engineers as well. Emphasis is given to numerical techniques in the solution of problems resisting analytical treatment. Topics are extensively subdivided, and chapters are substantially self-contained.

This systematic exploration of real-world stress analysis has been completely updated to reflect state-of-the-art methods and applications now used in aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering, and engineering mechanics. Distinguished by its exceptional visual interpretations of solutions, Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Applied Elasticity offers in-depth coverage for both students and engineers.
