近年來，國家教育部出臺的一系列倡導高等院校開展雙語教學、引進原版教材的政策，對于加快我國高等教育改革的步伐，培養(yǎng)具有國際競爭力的高水平技術人才，發(fā)揮了積極的促進作用。材料力學也引進了多個版本的英文原版教材，但由于教育體制和教學模式的差異，一時還很難直接用于我國目前的課程教學�？s編和改編是把優(yōu)秀原版教材引入雙語教學的橋梁。我們在開展材料力學雙語教學的過程中，針對本專業(yè)的特點，嘗試在國外優(yōu)秀教材基礎上精選其主體內容并進行適當縮編的方式，取得了較好的效果。通過幾年的教學實踐我們體會到，縮編的原版教材有內容貼近教學和語言原汁原味等特點，適于教學。
由Ferdinand P. Beer等編寫的Mechanics of Materials（Fourth Edition in SI Units）采用以應力為鋪路石，以構件變形為主線的體系，符合國內教學改革的主流方向。教材結構清晰、論述嚴謹、圖文并茂，同時還附有少量計算題目。該教材將桿件設計概念貫穿全書，廣泛采用三維插圖，有助于揭示力學原理、貼近工程實際以及培養(yǎng)學生分析問題、解決問題的能力。書中每章都分別針對基本概念和原理設置多個“Examples and Sample Problems”和“Homework Problem Sets”,每章后面還設有“Chapter Review and Summary”、“Review Problems”和“Computer Problems”，具有突出“三基”，循序漸進，由簡到繁的特色。教材中一些專題性的內容是獨立的，便于刪減。
經過認真對比研究，我們選擇了該書作為基礎進行縮編。縮編后的教材保留了原版教材的特色，同時結合國內雙語教學的需要適當地刪減了一些內容，如去掉了塑性變形（除軸向拉伸與壓縮變形以外）等國內材料力學教材都不講授或很少講授的內容，精選了部分例題、習題講解和習題等。
縮編工作由上海師范大學建筑工程學院工程力學部張燕主持。其中張燕改編第4章、第9章、第10章和全書的習題； 王紅囡改編第5~8章和附錄，并負責全書統(tǒng)稿工作； 彭麗改編第1~3章內容。特別感謝趙一鳴同學為教材錄入和排版所做的大量工作，以及縮編教材的倡導人王增忠副院長對于本工作給予的大力支持。查瓏瓏老師也對本書作出了貢獻。
本教材適合于機械類和土木類等專業(yè)的本科生70~90學時的材料力學雙語教學，不足70學時應酌情刪減。由于時間和編者的水平限制，書中難免疏誤，敬請讀者批評指正。
