New edition of a text that introduces the mechanics of materials, an engineering subject that also is described as the mechanics of solids, of deformable bodies, and strength of materials. Craig (ASE-EM Department, U. of Texas) presents a systematic four-step problem-solving method that helps the student to discover how fundamental concepts underlie all the applications presented, and how to identify the equations needed to solve various problems. Detailed example problems show how to organize solutions and think like practicing engineers. The included CD-ROM covers a broad range of topics and contains 90 special MDSolids example problems.
