Applied Statics and Strengths of Materials for Technologists

A study of mechanical engineering technology that emphasizes the applications of principles, rather than math. The first part of the book (Chapters 1-10) covers Statics; the rest of the chapters deal with Strength of Materials and Design. In this 5th new edition, the final chapter provides a sample design that considers stresses, then stresses and displacements. Included in this chapter is a programmed text with blanks for the students to fill out as the text leads them through the material.
