Synopsis

For one/two-semester, undergraduate-level courses in Statics and Strengths of Materials, Strength of Materials, and Engineering Mechanics in the disciplines of Engineering Technology.

Focusing on the fundamentals of material statics and strength, this text presents a non-Calculus-based, elementary, analytical, and practical approach, with rigorous, comprehensive example problems that follow the explanation of theory and very complete homework problems that allow students to practice the material. The goal of the text is to provide students with the necessary mechanics background for more advanced and specialized areas of study in the many fields of engineering technology―e.g., civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial, and manufacturing.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

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.

Synopsis:

This edition covers recent trends in the field and the latest standards for AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design; and focuses on principles and their applications to engineering technology, including the civil, mechanical, construction, industrial, architectural and manufacturing fields.
