From the Back Cover
Applied Strength of Materials provides comprehensive coverage of the key topics in strength of materials with an emphasis on applications, problem solving, and design of structural members, mechanical devices, and systems. The fourth edition of this best-selling text has been updated and enhanced to include a new "Big Picture" feature and a brief review of statics in a new appendix.
Strengths of this text include:
- A section called The Big Picture begins each chapter and engages students in discussion of the many contexts in which the principles in that chapter are used in real, practical design. This feature draws on the students' own experience and builds their knowledge of the mechanical design field. It is based on the learning theory that students learn better when they can relate new concepts to past experiences and when they consider the whole before tackling the details.
- An extensive introduction to composite materials along with the commentary throughout the book on the application of composites to various kinds of load-carrying members and comparisons/contrasts of composites to traditional structural members.
- Suggested computer programming assignments with recommended uses for spreadsheets, equation-solving software such as MATLAB, and graphing calculators to reflect the continuing development of electronic aids.
- Strong presentation of design approaches in addition to analysis, providing extensive information on guidelines for design of mechanical devices and structural members.

This review is from: Applied Strength of Materials (Hardcover)
The book was very helpful on grasping the understandig of strenght of materials,but if had the option of having a solutions manual to know whether I had worked the problems out corretly I would have capitalized on it. The book was laid out well and had easy to follw examples.
If there is a solutions manual available or perhaps a study guide I would be intersted in obtaining one.

This review is from: Applied Strength of Materials (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
If you are not using this book at your school demand that they start using it. Easy to use, read and study from. It's also a great primer for learning how to use books like Marks Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers.
