Features

• Re-writing of text material provides further clarification of some concepts in this edition, enhanced accuracy throughout the book, and important definitions are now in boldface throughout the text to highlight their importance.
• Photos and photorealistic art are used throughout the text to explain how the relevant principles apply to real-world situations and how materials behave under load. There are over 15 new or updated photos placed throughout the book. In some sections, photographs show how engineers must first make an idealised model for analysis, and then proceed to draw a free-body diagram of this model in order to apply the theory.
• Approximately 30% new problems have been added to this edition (included in both the book and Mastering) which involve applications to many different fields of engineering.
• An expanded Answer Section in the back of the book now includes additional information related to the solution of select Fundamental and Review Problems in order to offer the student guidance in solving the problems.
• Updated Fundamental Problems offer students simple applications of the concepts and provide the opportunity to develop their problem-solving skills before attempting to solve the standard problems that follow. Some new Fundamental Problems have been added, along with their partial solutions, which are given in the back of the book
