Applied Statics and Strength of Materials

Intended for one- and two-semester, undergraduate-level courses in Statics and Strength of Materials, Strength of Materials and Engineering Mechanics in an engineering technology program

An elementary, analytical, practical approach to the fundamentals of statics and mechanics without the use of calculus

Provide your students with the necessary background in mechanics–essential in many fields, such as civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial, and manufacturing technologies–with the new Sixth Edition of Applied Statics and Strengths of Materials. The focus is on the fundamentals of material statics and strength and the information is presented using an elementary, analytical, practical approach, without the use of calculus. To ensure understanding of the concepts, rigorous, comprehensive example problems follow the explanations of theory, and numerous homework problems at the end of each chapter allow for class examples, homework problems, or additional practice for students.

Updated and completely reformatted, the Sixth Edition features color in the illustrations, chapter-opening Learning Objectives highlighting major topics, updated terminology changed to be more consistent with design codes, and the addition of units to all calculations.
