Engineering Mechanics: Statics

By Russell C. Hibbeler

Book Overview

For Statics Courses.

A Proven Approach to Conceptual Understanding and Problem-solving Skills

Engineering Mechanics: Statics excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of engineering mechanics. Engineering Mechanics empowers students to succeed by drawing upon Professor Hibbeler's everyday classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn. This text is shaped by the comments and suggestions of hundreds of reviewers in the teaching profession, as well as many of the author's students.
The Fourteenth Edition includes new Preliminary Problems, which are intended to help students develop conceptual understanding and build problem-solving skills. The text features a large variety of problems from a broad range of engineering disciplines, stressing practical, realistic situations encountered in professional practice, and having varying levels of difficulty.

Also Available with Mastering Engineering -- an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Interactive, self-paced tutorials provide individualized coaching to help students stay on track. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts. The text and MasteringEngineering work together to guide students through engineering concepts with a multi-step approach to problems.

Customer Reviews

Got this for an engineering course

This has some great explanations on engineering statics in the field of mechanics. This is great for mechanical, industrial, and civil engineers. It has a good variety of problems, examples and solutions.

Great Service!

Got exactly what I ordered exactly when it was supposed to arrive. Could not be any better.

Rating of the 1 st edition book and the author

My discussion here is a rating of the 1st edition and the author, Professor R.C. Hibbeler. The first edition is the one I used in my course of study while in college. Granted the book does not offer a lot of complicated examples, only relatively easy ones. But there is a reason. The author wants the student to develop his/her own skills in problem solving. He does explain the material in enough detail to accomplish this. The reasons for not supplying a solutions manual should be obvious. This book does a great job of supplying a very large and diverse collection of problem. The illustrations are very helpful with the problem solving exercise. As best I can recall, answers are provided to all even numbered problems. As a text book and learning tool, the author should (and does) assume that the reader is a aspiring engineering student with intension on learning the most from the subject. As I said earlier, its strengths are the number of problems presented in the text and the fact that the answers to most all of the problems are in the back of the book. The book covers all the basic subjects required for a future understanding of Mechanics of Materials, usually presented later on in your continuing engineering studies. I do recommend it as a text book for a basic entry level engineering statics course, and it is great for the beginning engineering student for first year engineering students. It is also a great tool for preparation and to improve your understanding of other classes such as calculus, physics, dynamics. As for the author, he is top notch. You can be assured this professor knows his subject. Just look at the various other books written by him: Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Structural Analysis. But this does not always make a good teacher. However, this professor is a great teacher. For no other reason, simply because he was my instructor at the University Of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University Of Louisiana At Lafayette)

Engineering Mechanics - Statics (11th Edition)

The Product arrived on time and in perfect condition. I book was exactly like the sellers discription

Best Book For Engineering Statics

check it out . u will find that it is the best book for studying statics. every thing has been explained in the examples thus making very easy for the students to solve the problems... any person having no knowledge of vectors , if read this book from the first page, i assure he/she can become a master in statics..
