Product Description

Review

I think Professor Gere has an excellent book and today is the standard by which to measure a mechanics of materials book.

Product Description

Now in 4-color format with more illustrations than ever before, the Seventh Edition of Mechanics of Materials continues its tradition as one of the leading texts on the market. With its hallmark clarity and accuracy, this text develops student understanding along with analytical and problem-solving skills. The main topics include 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 giving instructors the opportunity to select the topics they wish to cover while leaving any remaining material as a valuable student reference.

This book is the bible of basics in mechanics. Well explained, all the parts are smartly organised to progress in the best way. Don't hesitate, the price is UK is really competitive compared to the US or France.

I'm a biomechancist and was recommended this book to get to grips with equations etc. It doesnt dissapoint in this respect, there are plenty of problems to work through with some examples. Good clear diagramms throughout.

Awesome book 19 Aug 2011

Completely new book. I made it through the class with the book and got an A. Just that the book is in SI unit so it might be a little different from the other version.
These prizes are insane 11 Aug 2010
By Tobias S.O. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book - as well as all the other books on Mechanics of Materials books are twice as expensive here on the .com site compared to the .co.uk-site - WITH THE CURRENT POUND/DOLLAR CONVERSION RATE. This doesn't seem right - considering several publishers are American. I was going to buy the Kindle, but with no access to the .co.uk offering, I'm hope to go for an I-Pad, and not to run into the same problems!
Deservedly a respected classic 7 Mar 2010
By Irfan A. Alvi - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I used the 2nd edition of this book (listing Timoshenko as coauthor) more than two decades ago as an engineering student. I liked the book back then, and it turned out to provide a solid foundation for my engineering career. I just finished reading the entire book again, cover to cover, to refresh my theoretical knowledge. I found the book to be just as good as I remember, and of course my professional experience enabled me to appreciate the material even more deeply than before.

Gere and Timoshenko give us the details and derivations needed to bring out the theoretical beauty of the subject, they provide plenty of example problems to illustrate the concepts and problem-solving techniques, they note many practical points which help to connect the material with professional practice, and their writing is clear.

In comparing the 2nd and 7th editions, I would say that they're generally very similar, as one might expect. Moreover, I'm not sure that the 7th edition is necessarily better than the 2nd. For example, while the 7th edition touches on a few additional topics such as fatigue and stress concentrations, the 2nd edition is more thorough with regard to inelastic bending of beams and energy methods. I also find the simpler visual presentation of the 2nd edition to be more elegant.

But regardless of which edition you consider, this is an excellent and classic book on mechanics of materials, so I definitely recommend it.
