About the Book This book is created for undergraduate Mechanics of Materials courses in Mechanical, Civil, and Aerospace Engineering departments. NEW! With Video Solutions to help students in their problem solving skills, this book makes learning and understanding easier. This adds even more value to Hibbeler s existing hallmark student-oriented features of the four colour photorealistic art program, clear, concise writing style and with more examples than any other text. Combined, all these features further contribute to students ability to master the material. This book and its supplements help address the needs that students find it difficult to apply theories and are weak in problem solving. Enhanced Features Video Solutions These are developed by Professor Edward Berger, University of Virginia, video solutions located on the Companion Website offer step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems from each section of the text. They make efficient use of class time and office hours by showing students the complete and concise problem solving approaches that they can access anytime and view at their own pace. The videos are designed to be a flexible resource to be used however each instructor and student prefers. A valuable tutorial resource, the videos are also helpful for student self-evaluation as students can pause the videos to check their understanding and work alongside the video. These videos offer: Fully-worked Solutions Solutions show every step of representative homework problems, to help students make vital connections between concepts. Self-paced Instruction Students can navigate each problem and select, play, rewind, fast-forward, stop, and jump-to-sections within each problem s solution. 24/7 Access Help is available around the clock whenever students need it Expanded Chapter Review A more thorough end of chapter review has been developed for the 7/e. Each important point is now accompanied by the relevant equation and art from the chapter in clear, uncluttered layout. Students can have quick revisions of important concepts and solutions Updated Problems Students have a wider range of questions to practice and apply the concepts. Lecturers have more questions to select, modify and add as new questions to their resources. Extended Examples Concluding notes have been incorporated in the examples, enabling the student to extend the analysis of the example. The examples also show more than one possible solution which encourages students to formulate their own problem solving skills. Students will be able to extend the analysis of the examples with detailed solutions Enhanced Figures To appeal to the visually oriented students, the 7/e has enhanced art figures to 3D photo quality detail.
