Applied Strength Of Materials Fifth Edition

This book discusses key topics in strength of materials,emphasizing applications, problem solving, and design of structural members, mechanical devices, and systems. It covers covers basic concepts, design properties of materials, design of members under direct stress, axial deformation and thermal stresses, torsional shear stress and torsional deformation, shearing forces and bending moments in beams, centroids and moments of inertia of areas, stress due to bending, shearing stresses in beams, special cases of combined stresses, the general case of combined stress and Mohr’s circle, beam deflections, statistically indeterminate beams, columns, and pressure vessels.

This text is an established bestseller in engineering technology programs, and the Seventh Edition of Applied Strength of Materials continues to provide comprehensive coverage of the mechanics of materials. Focusing on active learning and consistently reinforcing key concepts, the book is designed to aid students in their first course on the strength of materials. Introducing the theoretical background of the subject, with a strong visual component, the book equips readers with problem-solving techniques. The updated Seventh Edition incorporates new technologies with a strong pedagogical approach. Emphasizing realistic engineering applications for the analysis and design of structural members, mechanical devices, and systems, the book includes such topics as torsional deformation, shearing stresses in beams, pressure vessels, and design properties of materials. A "big picture" overview is included at the beginning of each chapter, and step-by-step problem-solving approaches are used throughout the book. FEATURES Includes "the big picture" introductions that map out chapter coverage and provide a clear context for readers Contains everyday examples to provide context for students of all levels Offers examples from civil, mechanical, and other branches of engineering technology Integrates analysis and design approaches for strength of materials, backed up by real engineering examples Examines the latest tools, techniques, and examples in applied engineering mechanics This book will be of interest to students in the field of engineering technology and materials engineering as an accessible and understandable introduction to a complex field.

For undergraduate, introductory level courses in Statics and Strength of Materials, in departments of Mechanical Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, Construction Engineering Technology or Manufacturing Engineering Technology This text features a strong presentation of the fundamentals of strength of materials (or mechanics of materials) integrated with an emphasis on applications to many fields of engineering and engineering technology. The approach to mathematics use in the book satisfies both those programs where calculus use is expected and those for which college algebra and trigonometry are the prerequisite skills needed by the students.

This edition provides comprehensive coverage of the key topics in strength of materials for students in engineering technology. Its emphasis is on applications, problem solving and design of structural members, mechanical devices and systems. This well-known book has been enhanced to include coverage of the latest tools, trends and techniques and to make even greater use of example problems. A full complement of resources are offered, including a solutions manual, PowerPoint slides, figure slides of book illustrations and extra problems.

This textbook provides students with a foundation in the general procedures and principles of the mechanical design process. It introduces students to solving force systems, selecting components and determining resultants in equilibrium. Strength failures of various materials will also be presented. In addition, the author has includes information about how to -- analyze and solve problems involving force systems, components, resultants and equilibrium; determine center of gravity and centroids of members and objects; identify moment of inertia of objects; analyze simple structures under linear stress and strain; investigate the effects of torsion on shafts and springs; find the load, stress and deflection on beams; and analyze structures subjected to combined loading.

A classic Schaum's Outline, thoroughly updated to match the latest course scope and sequence. The ideal review for the thousands of civil and mechanical engineering students who enroll in strength of materials courses. About the Book An update of this successful outline in strength of materials, modified to conform to the current curriculum.
