Features: This book is divided into 11 chapters and 4 appendices, covering the basic requirements of the multi-credit "Mechanics of Materials" course newly formulated by the Non-Mechanics Professional Course Guidance Subcommittees of the Ministry of Education. It includes: tension and compression, shear and extrusion, torsion, bending (internal forces, stresses, and deformation), stress state and strength theory, combined deformation, column stability, fatigue strength, energy methods, and section geometric properties, etc. The book is based on engineering practice, emphasizing the cultivation of concepts in mechanics of materials, problem-solving skills, and modeling abilities. Through reforms in course content and system, it strives to balance theory and application, knowledge delivery and ability development. The book aims to present concise and clear explanations, with thorough analysis of examples, and seeks to identify problem-solving patterns through numerous examples, enabling students to master basic concepts, theories, methods, and computational skills. It also pays attention to the integration and connection with related courses. This book can serve as a textbook for the "Mechanics of Materials" course for various applied engineering undergraduate programs in general universities, as well as for night universities, correspondence universities, and workers' universities in corresponding fields. It can also be referenced by relevant engineering technicians.
