In Mechanics of Engineering Materials the members have shapes that either exist in actual structures or are being considered for their suitability（根据其需要）as parts of proposed（拟建的）engineering structures. The materials in the members have properties that are characteristic of commonly used（常用的）engineering materials such as steel, aluminum, concrete, and wood. 材料力学用以研究不同物体（通常称为构件）对施加力的响应。在工程材料力学中，构件的形状可以是实际结构中存在的，也可以根据其需要而进行考虑（设计），作为拟建工程结构的部件。构件中材料的性能即是常用的工程材料如钢材、铝材、混凝土和木材的特性。 As you can see already from the variety of materials, forces, and shapes mentioned, Mechanics of Engineering Materials is of interest to（对..有价值）all fields of engineering. The engineer uses the principles of Mechanics of Materials to determine if the material properties and the dimensions of a member are adequate to（足以）ensure that it can carry its loads safely and without excessive distortion. In general（通常）, then, we are interested in both the safe load that a member can carry and the associated（相关的）deformation. Engineering design would be a simple process if the designer could take into consideration（考虑）the loads and the mechanical properties of the materials, manipulate（利用）an equation, and arrive at（得到）suitable dimensions. Design is seldom that simple. Usually（通常）, on the basis of（根据）experience, the designer selects a trial（试算） member and then does an analysis to see if that member meets the specified requirements. Frequently（常常）, it does not and then a new trial member is selected and the analysis repeated. This design cycle（设计周期） continues until a satisfactory solution is obtained. The number of cycles（循环次数） required to find an acceptable design dimin
