Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Now in 4-color format with more illustrations than ever before, the Seventh Edition of Mechanics of Materials continues its tradition as one of the leading texts on the market. With its hallmark clarity and accuracy, this text develops student understanding along with analytical and problem-solving skills. The main topics include analysis and design of structural members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, bending, and more. The book includes more material than can be taught in a single course giving instructors the opportunity to select the topics they wish to cover while leaving any remaining material as a valuable student reference.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 935-942) and indexes.
Tension, compression and shear -- Axially loaded members -- Torsion -- Shear forces and bending moments -- Stresses in beams (basic topics) -- Stresses in beams (Advanced topics) -- Analysis of stress and strain -- Applications of plane stress (pressure vessels, beams and combined loadings) -- Deflections of beams -- Statically indeterminate beams -- Columns -- Review of centroids and moments of inertia.

James Gere was born on June 14, 1925, in Syracuse, New York. He graduated from Stanford, and later taught there, rising to the position of Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering. He is the author of several important texts including Mechanics of Materials, Structural and Construction Design Manual, and Matrix Algebra for Engineers. These works, and others, pose theories, models, questions and answers to numerous engineering problems.(Bowker Author Biography)
