Statics and Mechanics of Materials (Activate Learning with these NEW titles from Engineering!)

Now you can teach a rigorous, complete and integrated treatment of two essential subject areas in engineering mechanics -- statics and mechanics of materials -- with Gere/Goodno's STATICS AND MECHANICS OF MATERIALS, 1E. This complete text helps you establish a strong foundation for further study in mechanics for mechanical, structural, civil, biomedical, petroleum, nuclear, aeronautical, or aerospace engineering students. The authors present numerous practical problems based on real structures, highlighting the information with state-of-the-art graphics, photos and detailed drawings of free body diagrams. All example problems and end-of-chapter problem solutions use a unique Problem Solving Approach. Students both expand their problem-solving skills and gain new insight into methods for dissecting and solving problems using this comprehensive, organized, and systematic approach.
