Book Description This is an introductory, yet comprehensive book, which provides in-depth coverage of both statics and strength of materials. A clear writing style and "Application Sidebars", illustrated with photos and line art appeal to readers, help readers understand theoretical concepts and related practices in selected areas of construction and manufacturing. Chapter on statics begins with a review of basic mathematics. The graphical method, together with trigonometric formulas and the component method, is employed to solve concurrent force problems. A discussion of the resultant and equilibrium of nonconcurrent forces follow—with special emphasis on theorem of moments. The force analysis of structures and machines and concurrent and nonconcurrent force systems in space is presented. Chapters on strength of materials begin with the study of stress and strain in axially loaded members. Also, discusses sheer stresses and strains in torsion members, bending and deflection of beams, combined stress using Mohr's circle, columns and structural connections. A self-study and resource for those in materials, material testing, machine design, and structural design. | ||

with a quickness super fast shipping, excellent product, just like it said "like new" all it needs is the plastic wrap to be considered new. its like they never opened it to read the book! Thanks a lot Amazon! | ||
Lacking... This book is terrible. Examples are very poorly written, shows example and then solution with no work to show how answer was obtained. The answer key only provides answers to even problems, and only even numbered problems that have solely numerical answers (no graphs, words, etc.) No other answer key available for purchase. You would think by the Sixth Edition the author's would have perfected a student friendly text. | ||
Poorly written textbook I find it hard to believe that whoever gave this book five stars has actually read it and gone through the problems. The solutions in the back are often wrong. At first, I thought I was making mistakes in solving the systems, but after I approached my instructor and solved them together, we found that a lot of the author's solutions are incorrect. The text also lacks continuity and quality examples. After going through my statics and strengths class, I have a sneaking suspicion that the author had an undergrad formulate the problems. One star is too generous. | ||
Poorly written Although many of the examples in the book were sufficient, there were so many mistakes that it was easy to lose confidence in the material (especially the first time through it). There were problems in some of the chapters that included concepts not covered until later chapters, and there is no student solutions manual available. Overall, I'd say thanks but no thanks. | ||
Excellent to re-cap your fundamentals The solved problems are terrific and classic examples encountered.The text is well written and understandble. | ||
