Statics and Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Approach

From Book News, Inc.
In this textbook, each chapter explains the forces that act on a static structure, immediately followed by the mechanics of how the material deforms or reacts. The book covers concurrent force systems, equilibrium, axial loading, torsional loading, flexural loading, combined static loading, and columns. The second edition adds sections on the design of ductile and brittle materials, and eccentrically loaded columns.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
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.

Most chapters conclude with a section on design principles, a summary of important concepts plus examples, homework and review problems.
