Review

“This text describes the major challenge from the classical beam theory, and then presents the transformation method, plus a few examples. I think the author’s presentation style is very systematic and clear.” — L.R. Xu, Vanderbilt University

“The best features of this text include its clear presentation of course materials, and very good examples.” — L.R. Xu, Vanderbilt University

“I enjoy teaching this book. The best MOM book on the market for the students.” — Akthem Al-Manaseer, San Jose State University

“It is well organized with objectives, important points, procedures, and examples set out from the text. It has lots of problems to select from.” — Cliff Lissenden, Penn State

“The author has done an excellent job conveying the concepts. The textbook is easy to follow and all the ideas are clearly presented.” — Yabin Liao, Arizona State University

“Very detailed examples; beautiful and clear art work; lots of problems; and a very good coverage of all the basic concepts.” — Yabin Liao, Arizona State University

“The author presents the material as an introduction to the solution of real world design and analysis problems without sacrificing the theoretical basis of each topic.” — John F. Oyler, University of Pittsburgh

“This is one of the premier books for teaching strength of materials.” — Julio Ramirez, Purdue University

“Presentation (first rate), instructor resources, and quantity of examples and problems are the top features of this book.” — Julio Ramirez, Purdue University --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Product Description

This clear, comprehensive presentation discusses both the theory and applications of mechanics of materials. It examines the physical behavior of materials under load, then proceeds to model this behavior to development theory. Combines a fluid writing style, cohesive organization, outstanding illustrations, and dynamic use of exercises, examples, and free body diagrams. Offers a four-color, photorealistic art program. Features Hibbeler's hallmark triple-accuracy checking and Procedures for Analysis sections. Available at the same price as the fifth edition. A useful, thorough reference for engineers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comments on this book., December 23, 2000
By A. Bedford (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mechanics of Materials (Paperback)
I am an author of this book, so I cannot review it. But I want to point out that the review by "mr303" cannot have been written about this book, because the book will be used in the classroom for the first time this spring, so the reviewer cannot have taken a course using it. Furthermore, the identical review by the same reviewer appears with the listings of other books having the same title, so it's clear there's just been a mixup. Also, the listing of this book gives the wrong publisher; it is published by Prentice Hall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best textbook I've ever had, January 16, 2006
This review is from: Mechanics of Materials (6th Edition) (Hardcover)
Simple, concise, great examples, great illustrations, great problems. The style is: present a topic briefly, derive equation(s) quickly, show 3-4 examples of using said equation(s), give a couple dozen problems, and move right on to the next topic. Thanks Mr. Hibbeler, for making engineering students' lives just a bit easier.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book, July 18, 2001
By JRC (Houston, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mechanics of Materials (Hardcover)
Having read and used several books in this area, my favorite one is this book. While studying for my PE last year in Mechanical Engineering, I tried to use Gere and Timoshenko, but found it to be difficult to read. I was familiar with R.C. Hibbeler's Engineering Mechanics books, and liked his writing style and resulting "ease of presenting technical engineering topics in a readable format with many examples and practical problems." So I got a copy of this book and found it to be very well organized, very readable, very good figures and illustrations, and very practical and useful. So I would highly recommend this book to all, along with R.C. Hibbeler's other books.
