Book Description
The new edition of this easy-to-understand text, designed for a non-calculus course in statics and strength of materials, requires only a working knowledge of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. In addition to expanded coverage and better organization of information, it addresses new topics such as accuracy and precision, solution of simultaneous equations, rolling resistance, mechanical properties of materials, composite beams, reinforced concrete beans, plastic analysis of beams, design of shear connectors, and more.

Fa-Hwa 2nd edition.......2002-04-26
I have used the first edition and was generally pleased. The second edition, however, is unacceptable. The rewrite added a few interesting and a few less useful topics. The problems at the end of each section were changed but the answer key referred, in many cases, to the the first edition. Sometimes the solutions were large deviations from the stated problem. There were occasional proof reading errors, far too many for a major text. The students were frequently frustrated in their efforts to justify the answer to the problem as stated.
Price is not the best way to choose a text.......1999-01-22
As a college instructor, I try to choose texts based on quality, but with consideration of price. I thought this book was a good compromise, but wish I had kept my previous text. This has way too many errors for a 2nd edition, and has received considerable critisism from my students for being hard to follow. There are better choices out there.
Book Description
This book presents the foundations and applications of statics and mechanics of materials by emphasizing the importance of visual analysis of topics—especially through the use of free body diagrams. It also promotes a problem-solving approach to solving examples through its strategy, solution, and discussion format in examples. The authors further include design and computational examples that help integrate these ABET 2000 requirements. Chapter topics include vectors, forces, systems of forces and moments, objects in equilibrium, structures in equilibrium, centroids and centers of mass centroids, moments of inertia, measures of stress and strain, states of stress, states of strain and the stress-strain relations, axially loaded bars, torsion, internal forces and moments in beams, stresses in beams, deflections of beams, buckling of columns, energy methods, and introduction to fracture mechanics. For civil/aeronautical/engineering mechanics.

Not a bad text, but..........2005-12-31
The approach in this book is a lot different than that which engineering students will learn in their Physics classes. This book uses a lot of calculus once you get past chapter seven, so make sure you have taken at LEAST up to Calculus III before you embark on the wonderous journey of attempting to understand shear and moment diagrams.
And there's a sufficient number of errors in the chapter two, three, and I think chapter six solutions. Make sure you ask your professor about them.
Not too terribly hard to get through, though. If you're studious and intelligent, you'll be fine.
Book Description
A comprehensive and well-illustrated introduction to theory and application of statics and mechanics of materials. This book presents a commitment to the development of problem-solving skills and features many pedagogical aids unique to Hibbeler books.
Chapter topics include general principles, force vectors, equilibrium of a particle, force system resultants, equilibrium of a rigid body, structural analysis, internal forces, friction, center of gravity and centroid, movements of inertia, virtual work, stress, strain, mechanical properties of materials, axial load, torsion, bending, transverse shear, combined loadings, stress transformation, strain transformation, design of beams and shafts, deflections of beams and shafts, buckling of columns, and energy methods.
For engineering mechanics.

Good Textbook.......2006-03-19
I bought this book about 4 months ago for my Statics class at university. The book is well organized and the concepts as well as the examples are easy to follow. I have found it to be a very good reference especially if one is learning some of the concepts mentioned in the book from scratch. There is a sufficient number of examples and problems for one to digest the material.
On the downside, the book does not have the feel of a general purpose reference book and should be regarded as a textbook that is to be followed in order to learn the material inside.
Very good book to learn.......2000-12-30

Customer Reviews:
Finally a book that explains with words!.......2007-04-20
I don't understand what the other reviewers are talking about, I find this book a lifesaver for my Deformable Solids course, because the authors take the time to explain the formulas they put in the book with real words. I appreciate that the formulas are in the text and not coldly thrown at you in a scary cluster, making the concepts much easier to understand thoroughly.
I found the information easy to find and I think the examples are great, with detailed and explained solutions.
Finally a book that cares about "how" and "why" instead of just "what".
Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity 4th Edition.......2004-02-12
Many Engineering text books lately do not seem to be written well. I feel that this is not the fault of the authors as much as it is the fault of the editor. This book overall is not in my worst text book list, but can be improved very easily. I have given it a 2 star rating, meaning that it still can be improved upon and until it is improved it is a difficult book to follow.
The problems with this book are:
1. Example problems are not included in the text in a sequential order. Instead a concept is introduced and five pages later there is an example problem with that material. The example problems should be there to reinforce the theoretical material. When it is so many pages later it is difficult to know what the example is trying to show.
2. There are too many formulas included in text lines. Formulas should be written in a formula type instead of included within a paragraph. When it is in the paragraph it makes it difficult to follow.
3. Topic names and definitions of concepts should be highlighted so the reader can easily go from one topic to another with a better understanding of the material.
4. As I am reading the text I have made my own illustrations for my own study. I therefore believe that the editor, with an understanding of the material, could have been able to include illustrations.
5. There is a constant reference to formulas written in previous chapters. Just rewrite the formula if it is so important to the understanding of the material. Instead the reader is in a constant state of turning pages. I am glad this book has a good binding.
To the authors: Since I am attending your University, Please do not take my criticism personally. Instead, listen to my fellow students when the review time comes about our course.
Good but not perfect.......2003-05-23
First few chapters are well treated but advanced topics are not covered in detail.For example, beams on elastic foundation chapter is not covered extensively.To conclude,anyone interested in advanced mechanics of materials should own it.
Not Practical.......2002-09-04
As an Aerospace Engineer (structures), I found this to be the one book that remains on my shelf. It has valid and accurate ACEDEMIC explanations of structural systems - but it does not lend itself to practical implementation of those methods...and many other books do! If this book is supplementing a curriculum, it will serve its purpose well. However, if you actually plan to use what you've learned - not here.
For a book that fits the requirements of application, please refer to "Practical Sress Analysis for Design Engineers", Flabel (ISBN 0-9647014-0-5)
An elementary comprehensive treatment of applied elasticity.......2000-06-01
This book covers the elementary topic of mechanics of material (stress-strain relations, etc.) and more advanced applied topics (thin plate & shell, energy method, etc.). The elementary topics are well organized and easy to understand, but the more advanced topics are not enough, especially on plate and shell theory.

statics and strength of Materials.......2006-11-06
Items arrived in perfect shape and also arrived ahead of schedule...Great seller.
Book Description
Designed to emphasize the fundamental principles, this book includes abundant applications to demonstrate and develop logical, orderly methods of procedure. Instead of deriving numerous formulas for all types of problems, the authors have stressed the use of free-body diagrams and the equations of equilibrium, together with the geometry of the deformed body and the observed relations between stress and strain, for the analysis of the force system action of a body.

Statics and Mechanics Review.......2001-04-17
This book covers the material well. Some of the later chapters tend to loose the reader with a bunch of jargon. Overall, the book facilitated my learning of the material. I am still wondering about a solutions manual to accompany the text.

Inadequate subject coverage.......2007-01-19
I picked up this book to review statics and mechanics of materials and found it missing much fundamental information on the subject. No mention was made of the concept of Mohr's Circle which is useful in visualizing computation of combined stress states. The solved problems tend to be inadequate in explaining the subject. It was helpful however to have statics and mechanics of materials in a single text (a bargain buy!). Pick another text to either learn or review this subject.
Mediocraty at it's finest.......2005-02-09
The book isn't overall bad, but the explanations assume a strong comprehension of the subject. As for statics and mechanics, it is merely a few select cases, and fails to actually help. Several vital steps are omitted outright, so you'd be better off skipping this book, and searching for a question and answer bank.

Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics (9th Edition)
ASIN: 0070040230 |
Book Description
This popular text provides the information students need for a non-calculus course in statics and strength of materials. Although U.S. Custromary units are still employed throughout, the text starts students thinking in metric terms by introducing SI metric units in illustrative examples and in student problems. Changes in relevant codes are incorporated to make students aware of current design procedures.

Statics and Strength of Materials.......2000-07-03
Currently I am using this text book in a College course. If you read it carefully, you will find the structure to be carefully put togeter for self learning. It contains excellent examples and diagrams to follow. It even has programs that can be entered into "Basic" for problems solving. I think it is one of the better text books I have been exposed to.

ASIN: 0130490350 |
Book Description
This is an introductory, yet comprehensive book, which provides in-depth coverage of both statics and strength of materials. A clear writing style and "Application Sidebars", illustrated with photos and line art appeal to readers, help readers understand theoretical concepts and related practices in selected areas of construction and manufacturing.
Chapter on statics begins with a review of basic mathematics. The graphical method, together with trigonometric formulas and the component method, is employed to solve concurrent force problems. A discussion of the resultant and equilibrium of nonconcurrent forces follow—with special emphasis on theorem of moments. The force analysis of structures and machines and concurrent and nonconcurrent force systems in space is presented.
Chapters on strength of materials begin with the study of stress and strain in axially loaded members. Also, discusses sheer stresses and strains in torsion members, bending and deflection of beams, combined stress using Mohr's circle, columns and structural connections. A self-study and resource for those in materials, material testing, machine design, and structural design.

with a quickness.......2007-09-07
super fast shipping, excellent product, just like it said "like new" all it needs is the plastic wrap to be considered new. its like they never opened it to read the book! Thanks a lot Amazon!
Lacking..........2006-09-07
This book is terrible. Examples are very poorly written, shows example and then solution with no work to show how answer was obtained. The answer key only provides answers to even problems, and only even numbered problems that have solely numerical answers (no graphs, words, etc.) No other answer key available for purchase. You would think by the Sixth Edition the author's would have perfected a student friendly text.
Poorly written textbook.......2001-02-23
I find it hard to believe that whoever gave this book five stars has actually read it and gone through the problems. The solutions in the back are often wrong. At first, I thought I was making mistakes in solving the systems, but after I approached my instructor and solved them together, we found that a lot of the author's solutions are incorrect. The text also lacks continuity and quality examples. After going through my statics and strengths class, I have a sneaking suspicion that the author had an undergrad formulate the problems. One star is too generous.
Poorly written.......2001-02-22
Although many of the examples in the book were sufficient, there were so many mistakes that it was easy to lose confidence in the material (especially the first time through it). There were problems in some of the chapters that included concepts not covered until later chapters, and there is no student solutions manual available. Overall, I'd say thanks but no thanks.
Excellent to re-cap your fundamentals.......1998-12-12
The solved problems are terrific and classic examples encountered.The text is well written and understandble.
