Statics for engineers. With CD-ROM
This comprehensive textbook, written as an introduction to statics, requires no previous knowledge on the subject. The text is aimed primarily at mechanical engineering students, but it is also suitable as a reference book for practicing specialists interested in engineering analysis and design. The material covers standard topics of statics and includes many thoroughly worked examples, as well as homework problems at the end of each chapter. An attractive feature of the book is NuSolve 1.0, a set of computer programs on the enclosed diskette, which includes numerical routines for engineering mathematics and tools for plotting functions and data. The details of the presentation are apparent from the table of contents: 1. Introductory principles; 2. Equilibrium of a particle in two dimensions; 3. Equilibrium of particles in three dimensions; 4. Equilibrium of rigid bodies in two dimensions; 5. Equilibrium of rigid bodies in three dimensions; 6. Truss analysis; 7. Frames and machines; 8. Internal forces in members; 9. Friction; 10. Centers of gravity, centers of mass, and centroids; 11. Moments and products of inertia; 12. Virtual works and stationary potential energy; Appendices; Answers; Index.
