520			_a"This textbook is intended for use in a first course in mechanics of materials. Programs of instruction relating to the mechanical sciences, such as me-chanical, civil, and aerospace engineering, often require that students take this course in the second or third year of studies. Because of the fundamental nature of the subject matter, mechanics of materials is often a required course, or an acceptable technical elective in many other curricula. Students must have completed courses in statics of rigid bodies and mathematics through integral calculus as prerequisites to the study of mechanics of materials. To place this book in context for engineering education, the user should know that it is an extensive revision of the fourth edition of Strength of Materials by Pytel and Singer. The contents have been thoroughly modernized to reflect the realities and trends in contemporary engineering educa-tion. In addition to eliminating a few of the specialized topics normally taught in more advanced civil engineering courses, the coverage of fundamental topics has been expanded. All of the illustrations have been redrawn and improved, with the addition of a second color for clarity and as an aid to understanding complex structures. Many new diagrams aid the visualization of concepts and improve the comprehension of derivations. Fully 60% of the homework problems are new or modified versions of previous prob-lems. A new feature is the computer problems found at the end of each chapter. Every effort has been made to maintain the conciseness and organization that were the hallmarks of the earlier editions of Pytel and Singer. In the first eight chapters, emphasis is placed exclusively on elastic analysis through the presentation of stress, strain, torsion, bending, and combined loading. An instructor can easily teach these topics within the time constraints of a two- or three-credit course. The remaining five chapters of the text cover material that can be omitted from an introductory course. Because these more advanced topics are not interwoven in the early chapters on the basic theory, the core material can efficiently be taught without skipping over topics within chapters. Once the instructor has covered the material on elastic analysis, he or she can freely choose topics from the more advanced later chapters, as time permits. Organizing the material in this manner has created a significant savings in the number of pages without sacrificing topics that are usually found in an introductory text." —Preface
