Summary

Focusing on the fundamentals of material statics and strength, this book presents a non-Calculus-based, elementary, analytical, and practical approach, with example problems that follow the explanation of theory. The object of the book is to provide users with the necessary mechanics background to relate to the many fields of engineering technology--e.g., civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial, and manufacturing. This comprehensive book covers the fundamentals of statics, coplanar force systems, structures, friction, gravity, inertia, stresses, properties of materials, torsion, shear and bending, beams, columns, connections, and pressure vessels. For use as a reference work for civil engineers, mechanical engineers, construction engineers, architects, industrial engineers, and manufacturing engineers.
