Ugural provides a comprehensive and methodical presentation of the basic concepts in the analysis of members subjected to axial loads, torsion, bending, and pressure. The material presented strikes a balance between the theory necessary to gain insight into mechanics and numerical solutions, both of which are useful in performing stress analysis in a realistic setting. Readers will also benefit from the visual interpretation of the basic equations and of the means by which the loads are resisted in typical members.
I bought this book for Mech. of Material class because this is the required textbook. I managed to do some problems before I dropped the class. The illustration of the structures is clear and it also have some of the answers at the back to guide you. The price is the lowest from bookbiz and I was happy with the delivery too.
