This book also:

·       Elucidates concepts of engineering mechanics in materials, including stress and strain, force systems on structures, moment of inertia, and shear and bending moments in a beam without requiring a background in calculus

·       Illustrates the influence of mechanical properties of materials using real engineering problems

·       Serves as a valuable reference for students and practitioners seeking state licensing in professional engineering

·       Includes appendices of useful standard material properties, diagrams, and formulas readers need for calculation and design purposes

·       Reinforces concepts presented with student exercises
