Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Learning System, 5th Edition
By Timothy A. Philpot and Jeffery S. Thomas
Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Learning System provides a unique approach with an emphasis on helping students develop the visualization skills that are critical to understanding these concepts, while thoroughly covering all the basics. This course features seamless integration throughout with Timothy Philpot’s MecMovies, an award-winning suite of animations and tutorials that keep students engaged at a high level.
New WileyPLUS for Mechanics of Materials gives instructors the freedom and flexibility to tailor content and easily manage their course. New Reserve Problems have been added for this edition to provide a fresh bank of questions, only available once assigned.

MecMovies
MecMovies provides extensive hands-on practice and feedback to students as they become familiar with a wide variety of concepts and applications, from stress and strain to bending, torsion, transverse shear, and combined loads. The animations, tutorials, and examples within MecMovies have been proven to increase students’ performance, visualization skills, and confidence level in solving problems
Foundations Module
Just-in-time support on key pre-requisite topics, the Foundations module provides adaptive practice on key topics in mathematics and physics
Videos demonstrate for students problem-solving techniques.
Student Practice Modules allow students to practice on their own with:
- Approximately 100 Check Your Understanding questions.
- Approximately 100 automatically-graded problems and the ability to check their work with certified step-by-step solutions (text or video format)
