  This is a revised edition emphasising the fundamental concepts and applications of strength of materials while intending to develop students' analytical and problem-solving skills. 60% of the 1100 problems are new to this edition, providing plenty of material for self-study. New treatments are given to stresses in beams, plane stresses and energy methods. There is also a review chapter on centroids and moments of inertia in plane areas; explanations of analysis processes, including more motivation, within the worked examples. Expository text, problem sets and illustrations have also been revised extensively to improve pedagogy.
