• NEW - Double accuracy checked during page proofs—Ensure a clean presentation.

• NEW - New Instructor's CD with PowerPoint slides and pdf files of art.

• NEW - Over 1,000 homework problems, 500 new to this edition, depicting realistic situations students are likely to encounter as engineers—The problems balance FPS and SI units and are arranged in an increasing order of difficulty so students can evaluate their understanding of the material. The answers to all but every fourth problem are listed in the back of the book.

  • Stimulates student interest and enables students to reduce problems from a physical description to a model or symbolic representation to which the theoretical principles may be applied.

• “Procedures for Analysis” sections—Now broken into bulleted lists for easier comprehension.

  • Provides a logical and orderly manner for applying theory.

• “Important Points” feature.

  • Provides a review of the most important concepts in a section and highlights the most significant points that should be realized when applying the theory to solve problems.

• Hallmark photographs in text.

  • Helps students connect with real-world situations.

• Over 200 example problems—Illustrate the application of theory to engineering problems provided.

• Advanced material—Such as inelastic loadings, stress concentrations, residual stress, stresses in curved and composite beams, and energy methods are included.

• Readers are guided through numerous pedagogical features—Including chapter objectives, boxed equations, and boldfaced headings and sub-headings. Topics and examples appear on facing pages, eliminating the need for students to keep flipping pages back and forth.

• Shear and bending moment diagrams early in Chapter 6 and references to them throughout the remainder of the text.

• Double accuracy checked during page proofs—Ensure a clean presentation.
