Synopses & Reviews
Focusing on mastery of the basics,
Applied Statics and Strength of Materials, Fourth Edition, presents a non-calculus based elementary, analytical, and practical approach to the principles and physical concepts of statics and strength of materials. The book features a rigorous, comprehensive step-by-step problem-solving approach; an abundance of worked-out example problems and homework problems; and a focus on principles and applications for many fields of engineering technology.
Features of this text include: - A summary at the end of each chapter presents a thumbnail sketch of the important concepts presented in the chapter.
- Problems at the end of each chapter are grouped and referenced to a specific section. These problems are followed by a group of supplemental problems provided for review purposes. Generally, problems are arranged in order of increasing difficulty.
- Each chapter is written to introduce more complex material gradually.
- Design and analysis aids are included in an extensive appendix section, making the book self-contained. Both U.S. Customary and SI data are presented.
