Features: This book primarily introduces the essentials of theory and methods in the "Mechanics of Materials" course, as well as problem-solving techniques. On one hand, it helps readers apply the fundamental concepts, theories, and methods of mechanics of materials to analyze and solve problems. On the other hand, it deepens the understanding of related concepts, theories, and methods through the problem-solving process. The chapter arrangement of the book is largely consistent with current university textbooks on "Mechanics of Materials." The content includes two main parts: key points of theory and methods, and illustrative examples. In the illustrative examples section, analysis is provided for certain errors that beginners often make. The book consists of 15 chapters, covering topics such as internal force and stress analysis of general members under basic loading conditions, strength and stiffness calculations, stress states and strength theories, elastic stability of columns, energy methods, statically indeterminate systems, fatigue strength, and dynamic loads. This book can be used as a reference for students studying "Mechanics of Materials" courses, complementing the main textbook "Mechanics of Materials" written by the author. Some of the more advanced and challenging content, along with related example solutions, is provided for instructors teaching "Mechanics of Materials," students preparing for postgraduate entrance exams, and engineering professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the subject, offering material not typically found in standard textbooks.
