Engineering Mechanics: Statics
- Book Review,
by Irving Herman Shames
From Book News, Inc.
A fourth edition of the classic sophomore mechanics text emphasizing working problems from first principles, minimizing rote learning, and preparing the student for future course work by "looking ahead" to more advanced engineering problems. The text reviews the fundamentals of mechanics and vector algebra, and introduces: structural mechanics, friction forces, surface properties, products of inertia, and methods of virtual work. The appendices contain additional problems outside the text, and also computer projects. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Book Description
Designed to provide a more mature, in-depth treatment of mechanics this book focuses on developing a solid understanding of basic principles rather than rote learning of specific methodologies.
