Statics and Mechanics of Materials (Mindtap Course List) - Tapa dura

"Authors do a good job of introducing terminology, concepts, and methods incrementally, and backing them up with examples to solidify the concepts...Example problems are numerous and well chosen. Explanations of their solution are complete if at times a little lengthy...Graphics are well-thought-out and appropriate."

"The audience is recognized, the pace is good and the examples are appropriate and relatable...There is nice breadth and depth in the content and the problems, with a nice combination of theoretical and practical content."

Master two essential subjects in engineering mechanics--statics and mechanics of materials--with the rigorous, complete, and integrated treatment found in STATICS AND MECHANICS OF MATERIALS. This practical text helps you establish a strong foundation for further study in mechanics that is essential whether you continue in mechanical, structural, civil, biomedical, petroleum, nuclear, aeronautical, or aerospace engineering. The authors present numerous practical problems based on real structures, using state-of-the-art graphics, photograph, and detailed drawings of freebody diagrams. All example problems and end-of-chapter problems follow a comprehensive, organized, and systematic Four-Step Problem-Solving Approach to help you strengthen important problem-solving skills and gain new insight into methods for dissecting and solving problems. This free website also contains nearly 200 FE-type review problems to help prepare you for success on the FE Exams.
