"I like the book "Mechanics of Materials" by A.C. Ugural. It provides a lot of good examples, which helps teaching and understanding the material, and home work assignments...There are a lot of pictures and figures, which is very importamt for visual perception. An introductory chapter on finite element analysis is included, which is extremely important issue in modern Mechanics of Materials analysis and design." - Professor Alla Balouvea, Spelman College

"The book is superior to the current standard one used. It is an upgrade that covers new evolving materials such as computational analysis. Contains maerials that are valuable not only for junior level students but valuable for professionals. Guides the students toward more advances is.sues. Well illustrated with numerous examples. I would highly recommend this book for junior level stregth of materials course and also as a good reference for professionals." - Professor Samia Suliman, Penn State University
