Applied Statics and Strength of Materials

From Book News, Inc.
New edition of a textbook which presents an elementary, analytical, and practical approach to the principles and physical concepts of statics and strength of materials. Coverage includes resultants of coplanar force systems; friction; area moments of inertia; properties of materials; torsion in circular sections; the design and stresses of beams; combined stresses; columns; and pressure vessels. The emphasis is on the mastery of basic principles as a way of solving real-life problems. Intended primarily for use in two- or four-year technology programs in engineering, construction, or architecture. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR

Book Description
Focusing on mastery of the basics, this book presents a non-Calculus based elementary, analytical, and practical approach to the principles and physical concepts of Statics and Strength of Materials. The book features a rigorous, comprehensive step-by-step problem solving approach; an abundance of worked-out example problems and homework problems; and a focus on principles and applications applicable to many fields of engineering technology — e.g., civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial, and manufacturing. Appropriate for readers interested in engineering mechanics/technology.

The publisher, Prentice-Hall Career & Technology
This text provides thorough coverage of all basic statics and strength topics in an applied, step-by-step presentation that is ideal for undergraduate engineering technology students. New coverage based on recent trends in the field and the latest standards for AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design, introduces students to this new industry standard. All material is presented at a mathematics level which does not require the use of calculus.
