The Mechanics . Resistance of Materials” by Valery Zhukov is a unique training manual created specifically for students studying in the direction 260200 “Food products”. This edition will be an indispensable assistant for those who seek to better understand the mechanical properties of materials and their behavior under the influence of various loads. Valery Grigoryevich Zhukov, known for his scientific works and practical experience in the field of mechanics, offers readers not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical examples that will help to better assimilate the material. The book covers a wide range of topics, ranging from the basics of material resistance to more complex aspects such as calculation of structural strength, deformation, and stability. Each section is written with clarity and accessibility, making it ideal for students who may face difficulties in understanding complex concepts. This book will be especially useful for students of technical and engineering specialties, as well as for anyone interested in mechanics and its application in various fields, including the food industry. If you study such disciplines as mechanics, materials science or engineering, then this manual will become your reliable companion in the learning process. It can also be interesting for teachers who are looking for quality materials to prepare their classes. The topics raised in the book concern not only theoretical aspects, but also practical applications of mechanics in real life. Zhukov focuses on the importance of understanding the properties of materials, which is especially important in the context of modern technologies and innovations in the food industry. Readers will be able to learn how to choose the right materials for different designs and how their properties affect the final product, which is a key point for future specialists in the field of food technology. The author's style is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which makes complex topics more accessible to perception. Zhukov uses many illustrations and graphs that help to visualize the material and better understand it. This manual is not only informative, but also fascinating, which allows the reader not to lose interest in the material being studied . If you are looking for books on mechanics, material resistance, or engineering, then "Mechanics. Material resistance" will be an excellent choice. This publication can be compared with other well-known works in the field of mechanics, such as the "Resistance to Materials" G. In. Baranovsky or "Mechanics of Materials" F. P. Baranova, but Zhukov adds a unique approach to his work, focused on the needs of students studying in a specific field. Thus, "Mechanics. Resistance of Materials" is not just a textbook, but a whole world of knowledge that awaits its reader. It will help you not only successfully pass the exams, but also prepare for future professional activities, equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of mechanics together with Valery Grigoryevich Zhukov!
