Mechanics of Materials thoroughly presents the theory and supports the application of essential mechanics of materials principles. Professor Hobelar's concise writing style, countless examples, and stunning four-color photorealistic art program — all shaped by the comments and suggestions of hundreds of colleagues and students — help students visualize and master difficult concepts. The Tenth Edition retains the hallmark features synonymous with the Hobelar franchise, but has been enhanced with the most current information, a fresh new layout, added problem solving, and increased flexibility in the way topics are covered in class.
