An Introduction to Mechanics (Engineering Dynamics) - Tapa dura

The principles of statics and dynamics are applied in order to understand and describe the behaviour of bodies in motion, displaying engineering mechanics principles and supported with worked examples. Many in-text examples develop important concepts in statics using easily-visualized, commonplace objects and systems. The text is supported by more than 1200 illustrative figures that help students understand the ideas being presented. Problem sets including computer problems cover a range of difficulty from routine to challenging. In addition, a new ancillary package of plastic models and model problems provides more opportunities for investigating mechanical behaviour.
