Statics and Mechanics of Materials An Integrated Approach

* Use of Free-Body Diagrams. Authors, Riley, Sturges and Morris, feel that a proper free-body diagram is very important in all mechanics courses. Whenever an equation of equilibrium is written, a complete, proper free-body diagram accompanies it. * Problem Solving Procedures. Statics and Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Approach provides students with an effective methodology for problem decomposition and solution, the ability to present results in a clear, and logical manner is emphasized throughout the text. * Homework Problems. Over 1100 homework problems allow for varied problem assignments. Each set of problems represents a range of difficulty and is grouped according to this range of difficulty. * SI vs. U.S. Customary Units are used in equal proportions in the text for both example and homework problems.Sturges, Leroy D. is the author of 'Statics and Mechanics of Materials An Integrated Approach', published 2001 under ISBN 9780471434467 and ISBN 0471434469.
