Synopsis

For courses in Statics and Strength of Materials.

 

Known for its wide range of topics and problems, Statics & Strength of Materials, Sixth Edition discusses statics and strength of materials using a clear, straightforward style. Offering a flexible approach, it does not require calculus, but includes calculus sections that can be covered at the instructor’s discretion. Nearly 1,000 problems and 200 worked examples are provided to address a variety of student and course levels; Application Sidebars show the direct connection between theory and practice. Appropriate for 2-year and 4 -year students, this new edition includes more information on engineered wood products, procedures for material testing, and updated tables, examples and problems.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

This text covers the topics of statics and strength of materials at a level that is appropriate for industrial technology and engineering technology programs, as well as for university-level courses for non-engineering majors such as architecture. The book uses U.S. Customary and SI units equally in worked examples and practice problems. Sections requiring calculus are included for professors who teach in accredited programs in the technologies; these sections are marked with asterisks and may be omitted, depending on the level of coverage required, without a loss of continuity in the text. Chapters I through 8 cover the topic of statics and include a review of unit conversions, trigonometry, and simultaneous equations. Chapters 9 through 18 are devoted to the study of strength of materials.

The new edition also includes:

• "Application sidebars" scattered throughout the text containing photos and line art that integrate theory with practice in selected areas of construction and manufacturing
• A new section on residential design using tabulated values taken from the principal model building codes
• More than 200 worked examples, and over 950 practice problems in varying degrees of difficulty
• A new table of properties for MEL and MSR machine-graded lumber, with examples demonstrating their use
