Develop a thorough understanding of the mechanics of materials an area essential for success in mechanical, civil and structural engineering with the analytical approach and problemsolving emphasis found in Goodno / Gere's leading MECHANICS OF MATERIALS, Enhanced, SI, 9th Edition. This book focuses on the analysis and design of structural members subject to tension, compression, torsion and bending. This ENHANCED EDITION guides you through a proven fourstep problemsolving approach for systematically analyzing, dissecting and solving structure design problems and evaluating solutions. Memorable examples, helpful photographs and detailed diagrams and explanations demonstrate reactive and internal forces as well as resulting deformations.
