Mechanics of Materials clearly and thoroughly presents the theory and supports the application of essential mechanics of materials principles. Professor Hibbeler?s concise writing style, countless examples, and stunning four-color photorealistic art program ? all shaped by the comments and suggestions of hundreds of colleagues and students ? help students visualize and master difficult concepts. The Tenth Edition retains the hallmark features synonymous with the Hibbeler franchise, but has been enhanced with the most current information, a fresh new layout, added problem solving, and increased flexibility in the way topics are covered in class. Features Well-defined sections are part of each chapter and contain explanations of specific topics, illustrative example problems, and a set of homework problems. The topics within each section are placed into subgroups, defined by titles, which present a structured method for introducing each new definition or concept and making the book convenient for later reference and review. A full-page illustration begins each chapter and indicates a broad-range application of the chapter material. Chapter Objectives are then provided to give a general overview of the material that will be covered. Thorough End-of-Chapter Reviews include the Important Points, accompanied by relevant equations and art. Appendixes provide a source for review and a listing of tabular data. Appendix A covers information on the centroid and the moment of inertia of an area. Appendixes B and C list tabular data for structural shapes, and the deflection and slopes of various types of beams and shafts.
