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.
