Product Description This book presents the foundations and applications of statics by emphasizing the importance of visual analysis of topics—especially through the use of free body diagrams. It also promotes a problem-solving approach to solving examples through its strategy, solution, and discussion format. The authors further include design and computational examples that help integrate these ABET 2000 requirements. Features strong coverage of free-body and kinetic diagrmas. Includes a revised discussion of reference frames. Chapter topics include: Motion of a Point; Force, Mass, and Acceleration; Energy Methods; Momentum Methods; Planar Kinematics of Rigid Bodies; Planar Dynamics of Rigid Bodies; Energy and Momentum in Rigid Body Dynamics; Three-Dimensional Kinematics and Dynamics of Rigid Bodies; Vibrations. For professionals in mechanical, civil, aeronautical, or engineering mechanics fields. | ||

Does not explain well Overall this book is not horrible, but it's not great by any stretch of imagination. Some of the chapters are well explained, but there are also a couple of chapters, such as chapter 18, that are very unclear. There are too few examples in each chapter, and they usually fail to underscore most of the theory stated earlier, some even skip the steps that are being taught in the same chapter! Needless to say, this makes understanding the material frustrating at times. There are probably much better dynamics textbooks around. | ||
Not bad, not great I have taught dynamics at the university level, and I have used several different texts. This text is clear and well-written, but oversimplified, even for a one-semester undergraduate course. The problem selection is weak. | ||
