Statics and Strength of Materials

This new edition includes more information on engineered wood products, procedures for material testing, and updated tables, examples and problems. Wide range of material - Includes very basic material to more advanced concepts and methods. Introduces both the international system of units (SI) and the US customary system of units and applies them equally in the problems and examples.nbsp;More than 200 worked examples - Use cases that are relevant and realistic and illustrate the principles involved. Provides a model for solving similar problems.nbsp; Can serve as a reference for materials testing, machine design, and structural design.This text covers the topics of statics and strength of materials at a level that is appropriate for industrial technology and engineering technology programs, as well as for university-level courses for non-engineering majors such as architecture. The book uses U.S. Customary and SI units equally in worked examples and practice problems. Sections requiring calculus are included for professors who teach in accredited programs in the technologies; these sections are marked with asterisks and may be omitted, depending on the level of coverage required, without a loss of continuity in the text. Chapters 1 through 8 cover the topic of statics and include a review of unit conversions, trigonometry, and simultaneous equations. Chapters 9 through 18 are devoted to the study of strength of materials. Book jacket.
