Features: This book is a project under the "Higher Education 100 Excellent Course Textbook Construction Program." It is revised based on Fan Qinshan's editorship of "Mechanics of Materials" for the 21st century curriculum to meet the requirements of the new training plan. The book is divided into two parts: Basic Concepts and Special Topics, with a total of 14 chapters. The Basic Concepts part includes fundamental concepts, internal forces and internal force diagrams of members, simple problems in mechanics of materials, analysis of normal stress on cross-sections of elastic bars, analysis of shear stress on cross-sections of elastic bars, stress state analysis, strength failure analysis and design criteria under general stress states, strength design under complex conditions, displacement analysis and stiffness design of elastic bars, and elastic stability analysis and design of columns, totaling 10 chapters. The Special Topics part includes an introduction to energy methods in mechanics of materials, an overview of dynamic loads and fatigue strength, a brief introduction to the mechanical properties of composite materials, and the viscoelastic behavior and pseudoelastic design methods of composites, totaling 4 chapters. The book places greater emphasis on fundamental concepts, strengthens engineering concepts, and introduces numerous engineering examples, as well as examples and exercises related to engineering. Additionally, it is accompanied by: multimedia classroom teaching software, e-books, online courses, a learning guide and problem-solving manual for students, and detailed solutions for exercises for teachers. This book is suitable for teaching the course on mechanics of materials in majors such as mechanical engineering, civil, hydraulic and hydropower engineering, aerospace, transportation, and power engineering. The Basic Concepts part requires 48-56 teaching hours, while the Special Topics part requires approximately 16 teaching hours.
