Book
Strength of Materials Part I: Elementary
This classic textbook by Stephen Timoshenko, often regarded as the "father of modern engineering mechanics," provides a fundamental introduction to the strength of materials. Part I: Elementary focuses on the basic principles required for structural analysis, including tension and compression, combined stresses, and the theory of bending in beams. The text is renowned for its pedagogical clarity, balancing rigorous mathematical derivations with practical engineering applications. It covers topics such as the mechanical properties of materials, shearing force and bending moments, and the deflection of beams. This third edition, part of the International Student Editions, serves as an essential foundation for undergraduate engineering students worldwide.
