Book
Engineering Mechanics Statics: Modeling and Analyzing Systems in Equilibirum
(2017)
Abstract
Engineering Mechanics: Statics, First Edition begins with a readable overview of the concepts of mechanics. Important equations are introduced, but the emphasis is on developing a “feel” for forces and moments, and for how loads are transferred through structures and machines. From that foundation, the course helps lay a motivational framework for students to build their skills in solving engineering problems. Topics include: Principles and Tools for Static Analysis; Forces; Moments; Modeling Systems with Free-Body Diagrams; Mechanical Equilibrium; Distributed Force; Dry Friction and Rolling Resistance; Member Loads in Trusses; Member Loads in Frames and Machines; Internal Loads in Beams; and Internal Loads in Cables.
