Statics and Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Approach. This item is unavailable.Statics and Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Approach

Designed to emphasize the fundamental principles, this book includes abundant applications to demonstrate and develop logical, orderly methods of procedure. Instead of deriving numerous formulas for all types of problems, the authors have stressed the use of free-body diagrams and the equations of equilibrium, together with the geometry of the deformed body and the observed relations between stress and strain, for the analysis of the force system action of a body.

Instead of deriving numerous formulas for all types of problems, the authors have stressed the use of free-body diagrams and the equations of equilibrium, together with the geometry of the deformed body and the observed relations between stress and strain, for the analysis of the force system action of a body. Most chapters conclude with a section on design principles, a summary of important concepts plus examples, homework and review problems.
