Title overview

Mechanics of Materials, 11th Edition is the standard mechanics of materials textbook for engineering programs. Drawing upon his decades of classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn, author Russell Hibbeler provides highly visual, methodical applications to help you conceptualize and master difficult concepts.

This textbook will help you learn how to model real structural members, apply Hibbeler’s step-by-step procedure for analysis, and build the problem-solving fluency that design courses assume. Hibbeler provides in-depth coverage of topics such as stress and strain, axial load, torsion, bending, transverse shear, combined loadings, stress and strain transformation, beam and shaft design, deflection, buckling of columns, and energy methods.

The 11th Edition features approximately 430 problems which involve practical applications to many different fields of engineering.

If you are not using Mastering Engineering, you can purchase access to the videos that accompany this title.
