- Consistent problem-solving framework for all examples and cases includes steps—Given, Find, Assumptions, Solution, Comments—to guide the student
- Case studies provide projects dealing with stress analysis or preliminary design, see Mobile Loader Study and Truss Study that run throughout the text.
Emphasizes 3 key aspects of solid mechanics (Equilibrium, Geometry of Deformation, and Material behavior)
- Reinforces importance of basic principles of analysis
Provides strong visual approach
- Visual, concise, technically accurate text appeals to current generation of students
- 1240 figures and 40 photographs all include descriptive captions to increase understanding of material
- Free Body Diagrams facilitate visualization and reinforce effective problem-solving strategies
Well known, successful text author
- Market leading texts in upper level mechanics courses:
- Ugural/Fenster, Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity, 4e PH 2003
- Ugural, Stresses in Plates and Shells, 2e MH 1998
"The book is superior to the current standard one used. It is an upgrade that covers new evolving materials such as computational analysis. Contains maerials that are valuable not only for junior level students but valuable for professionals. Guides the students toward more advances is.sues. Well illustrated with numerous examples. I would highly recommend this book for junior level stregth of materials course and also as a good reference for professionals." - Professor Samia Suliman, Penn State University
