Features: This book is based on the "Basic Requirements for Teaching Material Mechanics in Undergraduate Engineering Programs of Higher Learning Institutions (Medium Hours)" issued by the State Education Commission in 1995. The textbook selects essential content in material mechanics, covering Chapters 1 to 13, including: Introduction, Tension, Compression, and Shear, Torsion, Geometric Properties of Plane Figures, Bending Internal Forces, Bending Stress, Bending Deformation, Stress State Analysis and Strength Theory, Combined Deformation, Stability of Columns, Dynamic Loads, Cyclic Stress, Energy Methods and Indeterminate Structures. If the last chapter is not taught and other chapters are appropriately reduced, this book can be used as a textbook for material mechanics courses with fewer hours; if supplemented slightly in energy methods, indeterminate structures, and other areas, it can also be used for material mechanics courses with more hours. Liu Hongwen's "Experimental Mechanics" can be used as a companion to this book.
