Engineering Mechanics: Statics in SI Units, 12e provides students with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and applications of this subject. By improving on the content, pedagogy, presentation and currency over the 12 editions, Hibbeler’s Engineering Mechanics series is renowned for its clarity of explanation and robust problem sets; making it the best-selling course text for this subject.

New – Animations on Companion CD Bundled in Textbook

Key principles and concepts are animated to help students visualize the forces at play, breaking down for them the complicated sequences; thereby building up their understanding. These animations lend the necessary graphic component that instructors can use in their lectures and tutorials.

These videos come with detailed voice-over explanations. They offer complete, step-by-step solution walkthroughs of representative homework problems in each chapter. They allow self-paced instruction with 24/7 accessibility.

The most technologically advanced, educationally effective and widely used engineering homework system. It tutors students individually while providing instructors with rich teaching diagnostics.

• MasteringEngineering improves students’ understanding.

• Students can now complete homework more efficiently and effectively.

• Instructors can now easily deliver effective lessons with the right coaching to individuals.

• Useful diagnostic tools help instructors identify key problem areas their students face easily and at-a-glance

The 12th Edition features 50%, or about 800, new problems with 17% more questions than the previous edition. Some of these new problems showcase contemporary applications of Engineering Mechanics in fields like aerospace, petroleum engineering and biomechanics—preparing students to work in these rising industries.

This edition includes over 60 new and updated photos with vectors that show real world applications of principles of mechanics. In some sections, photos are used to show how engineers must first make an idealized model for analysis, and then proceeding to draw a free-body diagram of this model for problem-solving.

Adaptor: Fan Sau Cheong, from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, received his PhD from the University of Hong Kong. Professor Fan is also Deputy Director, Centre for Advanced Numerical Engineering Simulations (CANES) at NTU. His industrial experience include work and research in bridges, tall buildings, shell structures, jetties, pavements, cable structures, glass diaphragm walls. Professor Fan was also the adaptor for the 5th and 6th SI editions of Hibbeler’s Mechanics of Materials, and the 11th SI edition of Hibbeler’s Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics.
