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.
From the Back Cover
Key Benefit: This second edition of this practical introduction once again provides thorough coverage of all basic statics and strength topics in an applied, step-by-step presentation that is ideal for undergraduate engineering technology readers. Key Topics: Coverage incluedes: Belt friction, stress concentrations, Mohr's circle of stress, moment-area theorems, centroids by integration, area moments of inertia by integration, elastic-inelastic behavior, inelastic bending of beams, ultimate strength design concepts, statically indeterminate beams, and square- threaded screws.w
