Description
In his substantial revision of Engineering Mechanics, R.C. Hibbeler empowers students to succeed in the whole learning experience. Hibbeler achieves this by calling on his everyday classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn inside and outside of lecture.
In addition to over 50% new homework problems, the twelfth edition introduces the new elements of Conceptual Problems, Fundamental Problems and MasteringEngineering, the most technologically advanced online tutorial and homework system.
Features
Problem Solving
R.C. Hibbeler’s text features a large variety of problem types from a broad range of engineering disciplines, stressing practical, realistic situations encountered in professional practice, varying levels of difficulty, and problems that involve solution by computer.
(NEW) Fundamental Problems. These problem sets follow the example problems. They offer students simple applications of the concepts and, therefore, provide them with the chance to develop their problem-solving skills before attempting to solve any of the standard problems that follow. You may consider these problems as extended examples since they all have partial solutions and answers that are given in the back of the book.
(NEW) Conceptual Problems. Throughout the text, usually at the end of each chapter, there is a set of problems that involve conceptual situations related to the application of the mechanics principles contained in the chapter. These analysis and design problems are intended to engage the students in thinking through a real-life situation as depicted in a photo.
Procedures for Analysis. This feature provides students with a logical and orderly method for applying theory and building problem solving skills. A general procedure for analyzing any mechanical problem is presented at the end of the first chapter. Then this procedure is customized to relate to specific types of problems that are covered throughout the book.
Examples. Designed to help students who “learn by example”, R.C. Hibbeler’s Examples illustrate the application of fundamental theory to practical engineering problems and reflect problem solving strategies discussed in associated Procedures for Analysis.
Important Points. This feature provides a review or summary of the most important concepts in a section and highlights the most significant points that should be realized when applying the theory to solve problems.
Emphasis on Free-Body Diagrams. Drawing a free-body diagram is particularly important when solving problems, and for this reason this step is strongly emphasized throughout the book. In particular, special sections and examples are devoted to show how to draw free-body diagrams. Specific homework problems have also been added to develop this practice.
General Analysis and Design Problems. The majority of problems in the book depict realistic situations encountered in engineering practice. Some of these problems come from actual products used in industry. It is hoped that this realism will both stimulate the student’s interest in engineering mechanics and provide a means for developing the skill to reduce any such problem from its physical description to a model or symbolic representation to which the principles of mechanics may be applied.
Student Study Pack. This supplement contains chapter-by-chapter study materials, a Free-Body Diagram Workbook and access to the Companion Website.
Part I - A chapter-by-chapter review including key points, equations, and check up questions.
Part II - Free Body Diagram workbook – 75 pages that step students through numerous free body diagram problems. Full explanations and solutions are provided.
Access Code - www.prenhall.com/hibbeler, a pass code protected website that includes:
-Video Solutions - complete, step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems
-Over 1000 statics/dynamics problems with solutions that contain both math and associated free body diagrams
- MATLAB® and Mathcad mechanics tutorials keyed to the text, and mechanics AVIs and simulations.
Statics Practice Problem Workbook. This workbook contains additional worked problems. The problems are partially solved and are designed to help guide students through difficult topics.
Visualization
PhotoRealistic Art – 3D figures rendered with photographic quality
Photographs. Many photographs are used throughout the book to explain how the principles of mechanics apply to real-world situation. In some section, photographs have been used to show how engineers must first make an idealized model for analysis and then proceed to draw a free-body diagram of this model in order to apply the theory. Most photographs were taken by the author, and include appropriate vectors and notation illustrating a mechanics concept.
Illustrations. These figures provide a strong connection to the 3-D nature of engineering. Particular attention has also been paid to providing a view of any physical object, its dimensions, and the vectors in a manner that can be easily understood.
Review and Student Support
End of Chapter Review. A thorough end of chapter review includes each important point accompanied by the relevant equation and art from the chapter providing the students a concise tool for reviewing chapter contents.
(NEW) MasteringEngineering. The most technologically advanced online tutorial and homework system. MasteringEngineering is designed to provide students with customized coaching and individualized feedback to help improve problem-solving skills while providing instructors with rich teaching diagnostics.
(NEW) Video Solutions. Developed by Professor Edward Berger, University of Virginia, video solutions are located on the Companion Website for the text and offer step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems from each section of the text.
Student Study Pack. This supplement contains chapter-by-chapter study materials, a Free-Body Diagram Workbook and access to the Companion Website.

Accuracy
As with the previous editions, apart from the author, the accuracy of the text and problem solutions has been thoroughly checked by four other parties: Scott Hendricks, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; Karim Nohra, University of South Florida; Kurt Norlin, Laurel Tech Integrated Publishing Services; and finally Kai Beng, a practicing engineer, who in addition to accuracy review provided content development suggestions.
New To This Edition
New Problems. There are approximately 50%, or about 800, new problems added to this edition including aerospace and petroleum engineering, and biomechanics applications.
Fundamental Problems. These problem sets follow the example problems. They offer students simple applications of the concepts and, therefore, provide them with the chance to develop their problem-solving skills before attempting to solve any of the standard problems that follow. You may consider these problems as extended examples since they all have partial solutions and answers that are given in the back of the book.
Conceptual Problems. Throughout the text, usually at the end of each chapter, there is a set of problems that involve conceptual situations related to the application of the mechanics principles contained in the chapter. These analysis and design problems are intended to engage the students in thinking through a real-life situation as depicted in a photo.
Additional Photos. The relevance of knowing the subject matter is reflected by the real world applications depicted in over 60 new and updated photos placed throughout the book. These photos are generally used to explain how the principles of mechanics apply to real-world situations. In some sections, photographs have been used to show how engineers must first make an idealized model for analysis and then proceed to draw a free-body diagram of this model in order to apply the theory.
Content Revisions. Each section of the text was carefully reviewed and, in many areas, the material has been redeveloped to better explain the concepts.
MasteringEngineering. The most technologically advanced online tutorial and homework system. MasteringEngineering is designed to provide students with customized coaching and individualized feedback to help improve problem-solving skills while providing instructors with rich teaching diagnostics.
Video Solutions. Developed by Professor Edward Berger, University of Virginia, video solutions are located on the Companion Website for the text and offer step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems from each section of the text. The videos are designed to be a flexible resource to be used however each instructor and student prefers.
