HALLMARK FEATURES
Problem Solving
Uses a "Strategy-Solution-Discussion" problem-solving methodology that explains how to approach problems, solve them, and critically judge the results
Visualization
* Stresses the importance of visual analysis, especially the use of free-body diagrams
* Develops figures gradually and employs "ghosting" techniques to clarify and emphasize concepts emulating the way an instructor teaches
Applications
* Places engineering mechanics within the context of engineering practice by including applications from many fields of engineering
* Introduces design principles with the "Application to Engineering" feature using concepts developed in preceding sections of the chapter
NEW FEATURES * Includes section on distributed forces on beams earlier in the book-now in Chapter 7
* Presents Friction chapter earlier-now Chapter 9
* Reorganizes the material in Chapter 10, now called Internal Forces and Moments
* Strengthens already superior coverage of FBDs
* Presents a revised discussion of loads in Chapter 6
* Provides new examples throughout the book including the popular feature "Application to Engineering"
