This book is one of the two textbooks that support an integrated course offering for Statics and Mechanics of Materials. Hopefully the integration of the topics of these two closely related courses will make the learning experience for the students easier and more meaningful. The content in the Mechanics II (Mechanics of Materials) is a revision of a part of the content in a book titled Design Analysis of Structural Elements published several years ago. The book titled Design Analysis of Structural Elements was too long and too heavy. It required a supplement for the homework exercises....

The content of the Mechanics I textbook includes methods for determining stresses and strains in uniaxial members, column buckling loads, and a discussion of material properties and material behavior. Because we have included three topics not normally found in traditional Statics books, we have added the three plus signs to the subtitle Statics +++.

We introduced the concept of stresses in uniaxial members, because an analysis of the forces in some structural element is incomplete. Determining the force is not sufficient to establish the safety of the...
