近年來，國家教育部出臺(tái)的一系列倡導(dǎo)高等院校開展雙語教學(xué)、引進(jìn)原版教材的政策，對(duì)于加快我國高等教育改革的步伐，培養(yǎng)具有國際競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的高水平技術(shù)人才，發(fā)揮了積極的促進(jìn)作用。材料力學(xué)也引進(jìn)了多個(gè)版本的英文原版教材，但由于教育體制和教學(xué)模式的差異，一時(shí)還很難直接用于我國目前的課程教學(xué)�？s編和改編是把優(yōu)秀原版教材引入雙語教學(xué)的橋梁。我們?cè)陂_展材料力學(xué)雙語教學(xué)的過程中，針對(duì)本專業(yè)的特點(diǎn)，嘗試在國外優(yōu)秀教材基礎(chǔ)上精選其主體內(nèi)容并進(jìn)行適當(dāng)縮編的方式，取得了較好的效果。通過幾年的教學(xué)實(shí)踐我們體會(huì)到，縮編的原版教材有內(nèi)容貼近教學(xué)和語言原汁原味等特點(diǎn)，適于教學(xué)。
由Ferdinand P. Beer等編寫的Mechanics of Materials（Fourth Edition in SI Units）采用以應(yīng)力為鋪路石，以構(gòu)件變形為主線的體系，符合國內(nèi)教學(xué)改革的主流方向。教材結(jié)構(gòu)清晰、論述嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、圖文并茂，同時(shí)還附有少量計(jì)算題目。該教材將桿件設(shè)計(jì)概念貫穿全書，廣泛采用三維插圖，有助于揭示力學(xué)原理、貼近工程實(shí)際以及培養(yǎng)學(xué)生分析問題、解決問題的能力。書中每章都分別針對(duì)基本概念和原理設(shè)置多個(gè)“Examples and Sample Problems”和“Homework Problem Sets”,每章后面還設(shè)有“Chapter Review and Summary”、“Review Problems”和“Computer Problems”，具有突出“三基”，循序漸進(jìn)，由簡(jiǎn)到繁的特色。教材中一些專題性的內(nèi)容是獨(dú)立的，便于刪減。
經(jīng)過認(rèn)真對(duì)比研究，我們選擇了該書作為基礎(chǔ)進(jìn)行縮編�？s編后的教材保留了原版教材的特色，同時(shí)結(jié)合國內(nèi)雙語教學(xué)的需要適當(dāng)?shù)貏h減了一些內(nèi)容，如去掉了塑性變形（除軸向拉伸與壓縮變形以外）等國內(nèi)材料力學(xué)教材都不講授或很少講授的內(nèi)容，精選了部分例題、習(xí)題講解和習(xí)題等。
縮編工作由上海師范大學(xué)建筑工程學(xué)院工程力學(xué)部張燕主持。其中張燕改編第4章、第9章、第10章和全書的習(xí)題； 王紅囡改編第5~8章和附錄，并負(fù)責(zé)全書統(tǒng)稿工作； 彭麗改編第1~3章內(nèi)容。特別感謝趙一鳴同學(xué)為教材錄入和排版所做的大量工作，以及縮編教材的倡導(dǎo)人王增忠副院長(zhǎng)對(duì)于本工作給予的大力支持。查瓏瓏?yán)蠋熞矊?duì)本書作出了貢獻(xiàn)。
本教材適合于機(jī)械類和土木類等專業(yè)的本科生70~90學(xué)時(shí)的材料力學(xué)雙語教學(xué)，不足70學(xué)時(shí)應(yīng)酌情刪減。由于時(shí)間和編者的水平限制，書中難免疏誤，敬請(qǐng)讀者批評(píng)指正。
