Synopsis
This is a clear and thorough guide, with a strong problem solving methodology. In this 6th edition of "Mechanics of Materials", Riley, Sturges, and Morris continue to provide a clear and thorough treatment of stress, strain, and stress strain relationships, as well as axial loading, torsion, flexure, and buckling. Throughout the text, they emphasize fundamental principles, with numerous applications to demonstrate and develop logical, orderly methods of analysis. The authors equip students with an effective problem solving methodology. They encourage students to draw free body diagrams whenever they write an equation of equilibrium, reduce problems to a series of simpler component problems, and present results in a clear manner. Now revised, this Sixth Edition features many new examples and homework problems, a consistent sign convention for internal forces, expanded and improved discussion of the stress element, and new sections on combined loading. New MecMovies promote visualization - Winner of the Premier Award for Excellence in Engineering Education Software, MecMovies, by Tim Philpott of University of Missouri, is a series of interactive tutorials, quizzes, problems, and games to support lectures and self study. Icons in the margins of the text direct readers to appropriate sections of MecMovies. You can access MecMovies through the book's companion website.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Completely Revised and Redesigned For Today′s Students Since 1960, this leading text has taught thousands of students the fundamentals of non rigid body mechanics. Now, the new author team of Riley, Sturges, and Morris have revised the text to appeal to today′s students by updating the illustration program, adding design content, and including more realistic problem sets. The fifth edition is written in a clear and concise style and contains new illustrations throughout each chapter. The text stresses the use of fundamental principles and the concepts of mechanics to solve all problems. As a result, students must apply the information presented in each chapter to answer realistic problems instead of simply using formulas. This problem solving method motivates students to learn the material because they see how it is used in the real world. New Features of the Fifth Edition
∗ A new introductory chapter containing a "Review of Statics" has been included.
∗ Chapter 2 is reorganized to conform with the greater use of the stress transformation and principal stress equations in engineering practice.
∗ Numerous example problems are used to show methods of analysis for typical mechanics of materials problems. Hints have been added to most of these example problems to help students understand the thought process required for their solution.
∗ Each chapter concludes with a section on design.
∗ Design Example problems and Design Homework problems have been added to most chapters.
∗ There are over 1300 homework problems, many of which require the use of the computer for their solution.
Quatrième de couverture
A clear and thorough guide, with a strong problem–solving methodology In this 6th edition of Mechanics of Materials , Riley, Sturges, and Morris continue to provide a clear and thorough treatment of stress, strain, and stress–strain relationships, as well as axial loading, torsion, flexure, and buckling. Throughout the text, they emphasize fundamental principles, with numerous applications to demonstrate and develop logical, orderly methods of analysis. The authors equip students with an effective problem–solving methodology. They encourage students to draw free body diagrams whenever they write an equation of equilibrium, reduce problems to a series of simpler component problems, and present results in a clear manner. Now revised, this Sixth Edition features many new examples and homework problems, a consistent sign convention for internal forces, expanded and improved discussion of the stress element, and new sections on combined loading. New MecMovies promote visualization Winner of the Premier Award for Excellence in Engineering Education Software, MecMovies, by Tim Philpott of University of Missouri, is a series of interactive tutorials, quizzes, problems, and games to support lectures and self–study.
