Improving Problem Solving Skills
The text features a variety of problem types from a broad range of engineering disciplines with varying levels of difficulty, stressing realistic situations often encountered in professional practice. Students can build up their problem solving skills with these features:

NEW - Fundamental Problems: These problem sets can be considered as extended examples since they all have partial solutions and answers given at the back of the book. They offer simple application of concepts taught, allowing students to develop their fundamental problem-solving skills before attempting to solve standard problems. In addition, they are useful for exam preparation, being an excellent review of engineering fundamentals. : These problem sets can be considered as extended examples since they all have partial solutions and answers given at the back of the book.

In addition, they are useful for exam preparation, being an excellent review of engineering fundamentals.
NEW - Conceptual Problems: These analysis and design problem types involve conceptual situations that allow students to think through and apply mechanical principles in real-life conceptual situations as depicted in photos. Such conceptual problems can be assigned when students have developed a certain level of expertise in the subject matter. They work well in both individual and team projects. : These analysis and design problem types involve conceptual situations that allow students to think through and apply mechanical principles in real-life conceptual situations as depicted in photos.

Procedures for Analysis: This feature equips students with a logical and orderly method in applying theory, hence building their problem solving skills. A general procedure for analysing any mechanical problem is presented at the end of the first chapter. This strategic procedure can then be customised and modified to relate to specific types of problems found throughout the book.
Example-based Learning: Designed to help students who learn by example, the many examples found in the text illustrate the application of theories to practical engineering problems. They reflect problem solving strategies as discussed in the associated Procedures for Analysis. : Designed to help students who learn by example, the many examples found in the text illustrate the application of theories to practical engineering problems.

Important Points: This feature provides a review of the most important concepts taught in a section. It highlights significant principles to watch out for when applying theory to problem solving.
Visual Learning - NEW - Interactive Animations: Key principles that are difficult to visualise and understand now come with interactive animations. These animations help students visualise the forces at work in an engineering situation, breaking down complicated sequences into step-by-step movement of engineering parts that can be readily related to changes in mathematical equation types and values. Being interactive, students can pause the animated sequence at multiple points to study and understand the equations that define it. This is also an effective tool for instructors to use in tutorials or lectures as it graphically explains difficult-to-understand concepts, saving them time. Interactive animations are hosted on the Companion Website.
Updated Video Solutions: Developed by Professor Edward Berger from the University of Virginia, our video solutions offer step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems in each chapter. They come with detailed voice-over explanations and allow self-paced instruction with 24/7 accessibility. Students learn how to breakdown a complex problem into multiple steps to find a solution, reducing their reliance on instructors. These video solutions have been conveniently classified into SI and non-SI clusters. They are hosted on the Companion Website.
PhotoRealistic Art: 3-D figures are rendered with photographic quality to aid visualisation and understanding. 3-D figures are rendered with photographic quality to aid visualisation and understanding.

Review and Summary
End of Chapter Review: A concise end of chapter review captures all important points taught in a chapter, accompanied by their relevant equations and illustrations. For students who might want to re-read the main text to clarify a particular point, each summary statement has convenient cross references to the section where it was drawn from.
Accuracy: Thorough Checking: As with the previous editions, apart from the author, the accuracy of the text and solutions to problems have been thoroughly checked by four other parties: Scott Hendricks from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; Karim Nohra from the University of South Florida; Kurt Norlin from Laurel Tech Integrated Publishing Services; and Kai Beng, a practicing engineer who also provided content development suggestions.
