Essentials of the Mechanics of Materials

· Clear, one-semester introduction to mechanics of materials · Designed for students from a variety of engineering majors · Organized in modules, with many exercises and problems · Valuable aid for passing the MOM section of the FE exam -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This book offers a one-semester introduction to the mechanics of materials (MOM) for engineering students who are not mechanical engineering majors. While it follows the standard syllabus, the book divides the course into very short chapters or modules, which allows for variety of classroom and online instructional strategies geared to different student backgrounds. Each highly illustrated module provides a clear step-by-step explanation of basic concepts, requisite formulas and calculations, worked problems and exercises, as well as references. While organized around a one-semester university syllabus, the problems and solutions in the book are also structured to help students prepare for the mechanics of materials section of the national Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.
