Statics and Mechanics of Materials An Integrated Approach

Designed to emphasize the fundamental principles, this book includes abundant applications to demonstrate and develop logical, orderly methods of procedure. Instead of deriving numerous formulas for all types of problems, the authors have stressed the use of free-body diagrams and the equations of equilibrium, together with the geometry of the deformed body and the observed relations between stress and strain, for the analysis of the force system action of a body.Riley, William F. is the author of 'Statics and Mechanics of Materials An Integrated Approach', published 1995 under ISBN 9780471013341 and ISBN 047101334X.
