Mech Engineering

This book was required for my Mechanics of Materials course in my major of Mechanical Engineering. The readings and examples are pretty straight forward and easy to understand. SuperSaving shipping rocks!

Great book

This is really a great book in a hard to grasp subject.It is easy to follow ,has a lot of excellent sample problems and examples ,sudent-friendly and it is ideal for selfstudy.

One of the Best Books in Mechanics of Materials

This books is the only rival of the Hibbeler's book.It has full SI editions and it contains clear examples.It handles the concepts clearly and in detail. It is strongly recommended to engineering students to obtain this book with Hibbelers one.

What A Wonderful Book!!

I feel very comfortable recommending this splendid book to aerospace, civil, mechanical, and material engineering students. So far, this book has helped me a lot in 3 courses. Theses courses are CE 203 structural mechanics, AE 328 aircraft structures, and ME 471 mechanical metallurgy.I have admired this book for the following reasons:1-It has made me interested in my courses2-It is very easy indeed to comprehend3-It uses simple examples to explain the concepts4-Key formulas are shaded 5-It has a good number of solved problems6-It has a summary at the end of each chapter7-Answers to even-numbered questions are provided at the end of this book8-In case that you forget some basic ideas in your CE 201 (Statics), Appendix A of this book gives excellent review in calculating the moments of areasI am sure that you will find it very useful.

A very good book

This a very good book for beginners in mechanics and stress analysis.It discusses the various types of loading. It explains with details and with lots of examples.
