Applied Statics and Strength of Materials (4th Edition)

Focusing on mastery of the basics, Applied Statics and Strength of Materials, Fourth Edition, presents a non-calculus based elementary, analytical, and practical approach to the principles and physical concepts of statics and strength of materials. The book features a rigorous, comprehensive step-by-step problem-solving approach; an abundance of worked-out example problems and homework problems; and a focus on principles and applications for many fields of engineering technology. Features of this text include:--A summary at the end of each chapter presents a thumbnail sketch of the important concepts presented in the chapter.-Problems at the end of each chapter are grouped and referenced to a specific section. These problems are followed by a group of supplemental problems provided for review purposes. Generally, problems are arranged in order of increasing difficulty.-Each chapter is written to introduce more complex material gradually.-Design and analysis aids are included in an extensive appendix section, making the book self-contained. Both U.S. Customary and SI data are presented.Leonard Spiegel is the author of 'Applied Statics and Strength of Materials (4th Edition)', published 2003 under ISBN 9780130938268 and ISBN 0130938262.
