In this text the study of the mechanics of materials is based on the understanding of a few basic concepts and on the use of simplified models. This approach makes it possible to develop all the necessary formulas in a rational and logical manner, and to clearly indicae the conditions under which they can be safely applied to the analysis and design of actual engineering structures and machine components.
