Editorial Reviews: Now featuring the problem-solving CD-ROM, StressAlyzer, the Sixth Edition of this book continues its tradition as the leading text in Mechanics of Materials. With its hallmark clarity and accuracy, this text develops student understanding along with analytical and problem-solving skills. The main topics are the 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 so instructors have the opportunity to select the topics they wish to cover.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The Best Fundamental Mechanics Book You Can Buy Comment: Have used this book as a resource for many classes. All of my professors said this is "The Book" for basic Mechanics, and I would agree with them. Granted, Fatigue, Failure are Buckling analysis are fairly limited. Other advanced topics such as vibrations, FEM and plate theory are not covered. That's because this is a fundamental text, but don't let that fool you. The depth covered and the clarity of presentation is amazing for a Mechanics textbook. If your looking for more complex analysis, get one of Timoshenko's books (the father of modern mechanics). Really, this book is primarily Timoshenko's work, Gere helps make it understandable. For the FEM, a good book is a difficult find. This is the best selling Mechanics book for a reason. There has only been minor changes since the original Timoshenko-Gere 1972 version. If your professor does not use this book, he has not been teaching long enough. Customer Rating: Summary: a great book! Comment: This is a great book with ton of examples and very clear text. I recommend it to everyone who is learning or teaching this material. Customer Rating: Summary: ME textbook Comment: Text required for Mechanical Eng. class. Good intro text and will provide quality reference in the future. Customer Rating: Summary: excellent, Comment: i ordered this when it was out of stock, i was expected to receive it in 1 month, but instead received it 2 weeks earlier. good product, good service, i recommend it Customer Rating: Summary: "The answer in the back of the book is WRONG!" Comment: The chapters are generally well written with in-depth, step by step examples that cover the material in the section before it. The problems themselves are particularly tricky as they require constant revision of mistakes and application of creative thinking to solve correctly. Unfortunately, a strikingly large percentage of answers provided in the back of the book are wrong. Many times one can pinpoint the mistake made in the answers, and other times the answers are beyond absurd. An unfortunate mar on an otherwise solid book. More Reviews
