Synopsis

This concise and authoritative book emphasizes basic principles and problem formulation. It illustrates both the cohesiveness of the relatively few fundamental ideas in this area and the great variety of problems these ideas solve. All of the problems address principles and procedures inherent in the design and analysis of engineering structures and mechanical systems, with many of the problems referring explicitly to design considerations.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Over the past 50 years, Meriam & Kraige′s Engineering Mechanics: Statics has established a highly respected tradition of Excellence—A Tradition that emphasizes accuracy, rigor, clarity, and applications. Now completely revised, redesigned, and modernized, the new fifth edition of this classic text builds on these strengths, adding new problems and a more accessible, student–friendly presentation.

NEW FEATURES

Accessibility: New Contributors Bill Palm has revised the text to make it easier to understand

New Application Areas: Includes new application areas such as biomechanics

New Homework Problems: 50% of the problems are new or revised

Solving Problem With...: A Series of optional booklets on "Solving Statics Problems with" Matlab, Mathcad, and Maple

Web–Based Problem Solving: A Collection of over 150 online problems

Extension Sample Problems: These problems show how computational tools can be used to solve a variety of ′What If′ Scenarios

Electronic Figures and Electronic Transparencies of Solved Problems: Text figures and more than 100 solved problems are available on the Web

Synopsis

The second edition, 1975, is cited in BCL3 . This new edition is likewise marked by careful attention to clarity and detail, making it preeminent among engineering mechanics texts. Meriam and Kraige emphasize the importance of visualization, problem solving, and logically sequenced mathematics in their coverage of statics, force systems, equilibriu
