Features: This textbook series includes the main textbook——《Mechanics of Materials》, a student study guide——《Study Guide and Problem Solving Manual for Mechanics of Materials》, and a teacher's reference book—Detailed Solutions of Exercises and Teaching Software for the Classroom. This book serves as the main textbook for《Mechanics of Materials》. Based on the new training plan for higher education in China in the 21st century, the teaching content of mechanics of materials has been carefully selected. At the same time, a combination and integration approach is adopted. On one hand, traditional teaching content is updated to make it more concise and innovative; on the other hand, while ensuring a solid foundation, new content reflecting modern scientific and technological achievements is introduced, widely covering various engineering applications. The book consists of 14 chapters, with the first 9 chapters covering fundamental content, including internal forces, stresses, deformations, strains, stress state analysis, failure criteria, and design principles under basic loading conditions. The last 5 chapters delve into advanced topics, mainly including an introduction to fatigue strength, energy methods, dynamic loads and stresses, and design methods for viscoelastic and pseudoplastic behavior in composite materials. The exercises at the end of each chapter are carefully selected, with some chapters including "multiple-choice exercises," and all exercises come with answers. This textbook series can be used as a teaching material for multi-credit and medium-credit mechanics of materials courses in undergraduate programs of various engineering disciplines in higher education institutions.
