材料力学

  　本书具有以下特点和特色
　  (1)英文编写。让学生在学习专业知识的同时能够通过英语进行思维，通过英语分析问题和解决问题，提高英语应用能力。
    (2)语言简洁。双语教学对学生来说首先是专业知识的获取，其次才是英语能力的提高，特别是学生在通过英语学习专业知识的过程中，要承受来自英语语言和专业知识的双重压力，因此本书不追求语言上的深奥，而是力求采用简洁的英语让学生获取专业知识。
    (3)内容合适。本书内容由作者根据多年的教学经验进行编写，紧扣教学大纲，能满足教学的基本要求；章节安排由浅入深，循序渐进，符合认识规律；概念清晰，论述严谨，便于学生掌握重点，理解难点；例题和习题由作者设计和编写，做到举一反三；所有图形和图像均由作者绘制或拍摄，图形美观，图像清晰。
    因此，通过本书的学习，学生能够掌握材料力学的基本概念、基础理论、计算方法和工程应用。学生在掌握专业知识、培养专业技能的基础上，提高英语水平、强化英语应用能力。
