Description
Mechanics of materials second edition
by
The second edition of this book by Pytel and Kiusalaas is a concise examination of the fundamentals of Mechanics of Materials.
It maintains the hallmark organization of the previous edition as well as the time-tested problem-solving methodology, which incorporates outlines of procedures and numerous sample problems to help ease students through the transition from theory to problem analysis.
Emphasis is placed on giving students the introduction to the field that they need along with the problem-solving skills that will help them in their subsequent studies.
This is demonstrated in the text by the presentation of fundamental principles before the introduction of advanced/special topics.
It is intended for use in a first course in mechanics of materials.
Programs of instruction relating to the mechanical sciences, such as mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering, often require that students take this course in the second or third year of studies.
Because of the fundamental nature of the subject matter, mechanics of materials is often a required course, or an acceptable technical elective in many other curricula.
Students must have completed courses in statics of rigid bodies and mathematics through integral calculus as prerequisites to the study of mechanics of materials.
