Book Description This text builds upon the background of a statics course and extends the analysis of equilibrium of rigid bodies to allow for the deformation of components. An interactive computer program is provided with the book and enables students to carry out computer-assisted problem solving, making use of methods they have mastered for small scale problems solved by hand. | ||

Top Level text as usual I own about 30 books in mechanics of materials (Also mechanics of solids and strength of materials) and am very happy to see an elegant text like this one. I'm not new to Lardner's books (I own An Introduction to the Mechanics of Solids) but this one surpass the previous title and present a more detailed materials and subjects supported by good numbers of examples. I'm also pleased with the level of problems given in this text (good number of changeling problems). On the top of that, answers to all problems are given in the text end and that will give the student the opportunity to benefit 100% from this book. I would like to see most mechanics books that deal the same subjects follow the steps of Lardner and Archer (in all aspects). If I give 5 stars to a book, it will be this one. I believe that all engineering students who are taking a course in Mechanics of Materials should have a look at this one, no matter what book is your text. | ||
Adequate text for material strenghs.. This book is quite decent in explaining the material, and even has some good examples. The prose is a bit dry, but going to lectures on the subject should clear up any problems that you stumble upon. Worth keeping, and a good transitory book from statics. | ||
