If you want to understand the basics principles of “mechanics of materials” with static structures, then this book is for you. It explains things very thoroughly and clearly, and provides many diagrams and examples to help solidify your understanding. If you’re an engineering student or just have interest in the subject, I recommend this book. You can find it for cheap on EBay like I did.
