The authors present the fundamental concepts in a modern context using applications and pedagogical devices that connect with today's students. The text features a five-part problem-solving methodology that is consistently used throughout all example problems.
This text presents the foundations and applications of statics and dynamics by emphasizing the importance of visual analysis of topics, especially through the use of free body diagrams.
This book presents the foundations and applications of statics by emphasizing the importance of visual analysis of topics--especially through the use of free body diagrams. It also promotes a problem-solving approach to solving examples through its strategy, solution, and discus…
This monograph investigates the development of hydrostatics as a science. In the process, it sheds new light on the nature of science and its origins in the Scientific Revolution. Readers will come to see that the history of hydrostatics reveals subtle ways in which the science …
This book contains the most important formulas and more than 160 completely solved problems from Statics. It provides engineering students material to improve their skills and helps to gain experience in solving engineering problems. Particular emphasis is placed on finding the …
Designing engineering components that make optimal use of materials requires consideration of the nonlinear static and dynamic characteristics associated with both manufacturing and working environments. The modeling of these characteristics can only be done through numerical fo…
