In this core textbook for the mechanics of materials course, Vable’s distinctive pedagogical approach translates
into exceptional features that enhance student participation in learning.
It assumes a complementary connection between intuition, experimental observation, and mathematical
generalization, suggesting that intuitive development and understanding need not be at odds with mathematical
logic, rigor, and generalization. This approach also emphasizes engineering practice without distracting from
the main point of the text. With strong practical examples and real-life engineering problems praised by reviewers,
Mechanics of Materials promises to provide the skills and principles that students need to organize, integrate,
and make sense of the flood of information emerging in the world of modern engineering.

MECHANICS OF MATERIALS
ENGINEERING MECHANICS OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS, 2/e
Completely revised and expanded to include new material based on advances in the field and the authors’
research, the second edition of Engineering Mechanics of Composite Materials analyzes the behavior and
properties of composite materials—high-stiffness, highstrength, lightweight components that can be used in
infrastructure, energy production, aircraft, automobiles, biomedical products, and a wide array of other
applications. The book begins by discussing materials in wide use today and continues with a review of the
micromechanics of elastic behavior and the macromechanical elastic response of a composite lamina, including
transformation relations for the three-dimensional case. Basic theories covered in detail include maximum stress,
maximum strain, phenomenological (interaction) theories (Tsai-Hill and Tsai-Wu), and mechanistic theories based

In this second edition of Principles of Vibration, Benson H. Tongue takes a refreshingly informal approach to the
understanding and analysis of vibration problems. His student-friendly style creates a sense of “oneon-one”
communication to which students respond with enthusiasm, declaring that the text is enjoyable, informative,
and even “good bedtime reading.” The text material can be used in a first vibrations course and in advanced
undergraduate/beginning graduate courses. Some familiarity with linear algebra, elementary deformable bodies,
and beginning dynamics is assumed. Tongue provides a basic understanding of the principles of vibrations,
presenting the core ideas and theories that define the field. Starting with classical material—single-degree-of-

MECHANICS OF MATERIALS
Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics uses a stepby-step introduction to dynamics and geometry in state space to
facilitate an understanding of the field. It includes a thorough treatment of both differential equation models
and iterated map models, a derivation of the famous Feigenbaum numbers. In addition, it discusses pattern
formation and surveys the controversial questions of quantum chaos.
Introduction to Fluid Mechanics provides a balanced and uniquely visual treatment of the tools used in solving
modern fluid mechanics problems. Presenting an image-intensive approach to fluid dynamics through classic
kinematic concepts, the book demonstrates the importance of flow visualization in a framework of modern
experimental techniques and flow simulation. Detailed photographs and diagrams of fluid motions and
phenomena throughout the text help students to see and understand why equations change drastically for
different types of flows. Output illustrations from CFD (computational fluid dynamics) programs illustrate the
possibilities of flow behavior, enabling students to concentrate on ideas instead of mathematics. The book also
provides the means to solve interesting problems early in the course by presenting case studies at the beginning
