Mastering Mechanics I, Using MATLAB: A Guide to Statics and Strength of Materials

This guide to the most common statics and strength of materials problems shows by example how to create function files to solve generic problems. Problems include rigid body equilibrium, geometry, shear stresses and strains, Mohr's circle, numerous types of loading, and beams. The book can be used as a review or supplemental text and requires only a passing familiarity with MATLAB. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
