4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 40 ratings
See all formats and editions
The second edition of MECHANICS OF MATERIALS by Pytel and Kiusalaas is a concise examination of the fundamentals of Mechanics of Materials. The book maintains the hallmark organization of the previous edition as well as the time-tested problem solving methodology, which incorporates outlines of procedures and numerous sample problems to help ease students through the transition from theory to problem analysis. Emphasis is placed on giving students the introduction to the field that they need along with the problem-solving skills that will help them in their subsequent studies. This is demonstrated in the text by the presentation of fundamental principles before the introduction of advanced/special topics.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The presentation is done very well and topic relations and dependence are kept in mind.

There is more in the book than can possibly be taught in a single course. It is good to have this extra material because students who are interested can study it on their own. It shows what comes next in more advanced studies.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Effective Textbook
    Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2016

    Let me just say you get exactly what you expect from a purchase of this textbook. Many example calculations and a good foundation for concepts of material mechanics. You definitely get your money's worth in terms of time spent staring at problems(hours upon hours) that you know you won't be able to solve until you finally just give up and change your major to business.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference for Structural Engineering
    Reviewed in Canada on August 20, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This book is indispensable. I don't apply physics and mechanics everyday at work, so it is nice to have a solid reference when I need it. Whether you'd rather use calculus, geometry, or a prescribed formula for a particular problem, you'll find all methods thoroughly covered. If you work in civil, structural, or mechanical engineering, this book is a great addition to your library.
