Print on Demand. This book is an accessible introduction to graphic statics for students of mechanical engineering. It provides a brief but thorough treatment of the properties and general uses of force and equilibrium polygons, as well as practical applications to determine stress in structures like trusses and bridges. The author skillfully blends theory with fully-worked examples, enabling students to quickly grasp fundamental principles and apply them to real-world scenarios. Notably, the book's focus on stationary loads, such as those found in buildings, and live loads, such as vehicle traffic, adds to its practical value in the field of civil engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Master graphic statics quickly with a practical, engineer-focused guide.

This concise course covers the force triangle, force polygon, and equilibrium polygon, showing how these tools solve real mechanical problems. Clear examples and diagrams help you apply the method to trusses, beams, and machines, even when time is tight.

This edition presents the essential properties and uses of force and equilibrium diagrams, balancing theory with hands‑on practice. It emphasizes practical problem solving over lengthy theory, including full examples where space allows, so you can see each concept in action.

Learn to construct and use the force triangle, force polygon, and equilibrium polygon
See how to apply graphic statics to trusses, beams, and stationary loads
Follow worked examples that demonstrate step-by-step solutions
Understand how to deduce force magnitudes and directions from diagrams

Ideal for students and professionals who need a compact, usable introduction to graphic statics and its engineering applications.
