When everyday objects and structures experience too much force, they can break or deform beyond recognition. This book explains why this occurs and how engineers can prevent it from happening to their designs.
Strength of Materials introduces essential engineering concepts including internal loading, stress, strain, and material properties. Developed for undergraduate courses in mechanics of deformable bodies, the text combines approachable explanations with worked examples, step-by-step problem-solving guides, key takeaways, and concise equation summaries. With a strong focus on both conceptual understanding and practical application, it supports student learning in and beyond the classroom. Freely available and openly licensed, this adaptable resource also serves as a valuable reference for anyone exploring foundational engineering principles.
