This is an introductory, yet comprehensive book, which provides in-depth coverage of both statics and strength of materials. A clear writing style and "Application Sidebars", illustrated with photos and line art appeal to readers, help readers understand theoretical concepts and related practices in selected areas of construction and manufacturing. Chapter on statics begins with a review of basic mathematics. The graphical method, together with trigonometric formulas and the component method, is employed to solve concurrent force problems. A discussion of the resultant and equilibrium of nonconcurrent forces follow—with special emphasis on theorem of moments. The force analysis of structures and machines and concurrent and nonconcurrent force systems in space is presented. Chapters on strength of materials begin with the study of stress and strain in axially loaded members. Also, discusses sheer stresses and strains in torsion members, bending and deflection of beams, combined stress using Mohr's circle, columns and structural connections. A self-study and resource for those in materials, material testing, machine design, and structural design.
