Statics and Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Approach

By Leroy D. Sturges, Don H. Morris, William F. Rilely

Book Overview

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.

Perfect...

It was shipped fast and it was in great condition. The corners were a little bent because they used an envelope instead of a box...but it was in a nice condition overall...

Statics and Mechanics Review

This book covers the material well. Some of the later chapters tend to loose the reader with a bunch of jargon. Overall, the book facilitated my learning of the material. I am still wondering about a solutions manual to accompany the text.
