Overview This text is designed for the first course in mechanics of materials – or strength of materials – offered to engineering students in the sophomore or junior year. The main objective is to help develop in the engineering student the ability to analyse a given problem in a simple and logical manner and to apply to its solution a few fundamental and well-understood principles. In this text, the study of the mechanics of materials is based on the understanding of a few basic concepts and on the use of simplified models. This approach makes it possible to develop all the necessary formulas in a rational and logical manner and to clearly indicate the conditions under which they can be safely applied to the analysis and design of actual engineering structures and machine components. Features New and revised problems Hands-On Mechanics: Helps the professor build in-class experiments that demonstrate complicated topics in the text. The experiments and instructions are posted onwww.handsonmechanics.com. McGraw-Hill’s ARIS (Assessment, Review and Instruction System): A complete, online tutorial, electronic homework and course management system, designed for greater ease of use than any other system available. For students, ARIS contains self-study tools such as animation and interactive quizzes, and it enables students to complete and submit their homework online. For instructors, ARIS provides teaching resources online, and allows them to create or edit problems from the question bank, import their own contents, and grade and report easy-to-assign homework, quizzes and tests. ARIS is free for instructors, while students can purchase access from the bookstore or the ARIS website. (Seehttp://mharis.mhhe.com for details)
Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics" provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage, and its problem-solving methodology gives students the best opportunity to learn dynamics. This new edition features a significantly refreshed problem set. Key features: chapter openers with real-life examples and outlines previewing objectives; careful, step-by-step presentation of lessons; sample problems with the solution laid out in a single page, allowing students to easily see important key problem types; and, Solving Problems on Your Own boxes that prepare students for the problem sets. Forty percent of the problems updated from the previous edition.
***Book is published and available as of 6/03!!! For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Over the years their textbooks have introduced significant theoretical and pedagogical innovations in statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials education. At the same time, their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for excellence. The new Seventh Edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics continues this tradition.
The first objective of a first course in mechanics should be to develop in the engineering student the ability to analyze any problem in a simple and logical manner and to apply to its solution a few, well-understood basic principles. It is hoped that this text, designed for the first course in statics offered in the sophomore year, ... will help the instructor achieve this goal."--Pref.
Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the tenth edition of Beer, Johnston, Mazurek, and Cornwell's Vector Mechanics for Engineers provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment of the exercise sets and online delivery of homework problems to your students. Nearly forty percent of the problems in the text are changed from the previous edition. The Beer/Johnston textbooks introduced significant pedagogical innovations into engineering mechanics teaching. The consistent, accurate problem-solving methodology gives your students the best opportunity to learn statics and dynamics. At the same time, the careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made these texts the standard for excellence.
This textbook covers statics for undergraduate engineering mechanics. It is written by Beer and Johnston, authors renowned for 40 years for their significant theoretical pedagogical innovations in statics and dynamics, careful presentation of content and attention to detail.
