Synopsis :
Over the past 50 years, Meriam &;amp Kraige's "Engineering Mechanics: Statics" has established a highly respected tradition of Excellence, a tradition that emphasizes accuracy, rigor, clarity, and applications. Now completely revised, redesigned, and modernized, the new fifth edition of this classic text builds on these strengths, adding new problems and a more accessible, student--friendly presentation. New Features include: Accessibility: New Contributors Bill Palm has revised the text to make it easier to understand; Pedagogy: End-of-Chapter summaries and highlighted "key concepts" sections help students remember key points; New Application Areas: Includes new application areas such as biomechanics; New Homework Problems: 50 per cent of the problems are new or revised; Solving Problem With...: A Series of optional booklets on "Solving Statics Problems with" Matlab, Mathcad, and Maple Web-Based Problem Solving: A Collection of over 150 online problems; Extension Sample Problems: These problems show how computational tools can be used to solve a variety of 'What If' Scenarios; Electronic Figures and Electronic Transparencies of Solved Problems: Text figures and more than 100 solved problems are available on the Web.
Présentation de l'éditeur:
Known for its accuracy, clarity, and applications, Meriam & Kraige′s Engineering Mechanics: Statics has provided a solid foundation of mechanics principles for more than 50 years. Now in its new Sixth Edition, the book continues to help readers develop their problem–solving skills with an extensive variety of highly interesting problems related to engineering design. In the new edition, more than 50% of the homework problems are new. There are also many new sample problems. To help readers build necessary visualization and problem–solving skills, the book strongly emphasizes drawing free–body diagrams––the most important skill needed to solve mechanics problems.
