Ebook Vector Mechanics For Engineers Statics And Dynamics

Ebook: Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics

Gives your students the best opportunity to learn statics and dynamics. This book provides extensive practice through sample problems, exercise sets, and online delivery of homework problems to your students. The text focuses on the correct understanding of the principles of mechanics and on their application to the solution of engineering problems.

Statics of particles -- Rigid bodies: equivalent systems of forces -- Equilibrium of rigid bodies -- Distributed forces: centroids and centers of gravity -- Analysis of structures -- Internal forces and moments -- Friction -- Distributed forces: moments of inertia -- Method of virtual work -- Kinematics of particles -- Kinetics of particles: Newton's second law -- Kinetics of particles: energy and momentum methods -- Systems of particles -- Kinematics of rigid bodies -- Plane motion of rigid bodies: forces and accelerations -- Plane motion of rigid bodies: energy and momentum methods -- Kinetics of rigid bodies in three dimensions -- Mechanical vibrations

Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the ninth 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. . .
