About the Book ORGANIZATION AND SUPPORT · Well-defined sections are part of each chapter and contain explanations of specific topics, illustrative example problems, and a set of homework problems. The topics within each section are placed into subgroups, defined by titles, which present a structured method for introducing each new definition or concept and making the book convenient for later reference and review. · A full-page illustration begins each chapter and indicates a broad-range application of the chapter material. · Chapter Objectives are then provided to give a general overview of the material that will be covered. · Thorough End-of-Chapter Reviews include a summary of the important concepts, accompanied by relevant equations and art. · Appendixes provide a source for review and a listing of tabular data. Appendix A covers information on the centroid and the moment of inertia of an area. Appendixes B and C list tabular data for structural shapes, and the deflection and slopes of various types of beams and shafts. PROBLEM SOLVING · Drawing Free-Body Diagrams is particularly important when solving problems, and for this reason this step is strongly emphasized throughout the book. In particular, within the statics coverage some sections are devoted to show how to draw free-body diagrams. Specific homework problems have also been added to develop this practice. · NEW! More than 50% of the total problems have been changed in this edition, which involve applications to many different fields of engineering · UPDATED! Review problems have been updated and placed at the end of each chapter, so that instructors can assign them as additional preparation for exams. · Procedures for Analysis, which is a unique feature found throughout the book, provides students with a logical and orderly method to follow when applying the theory. · Examples are designed to help students who “learn by example.” They illustrate the application of fundamental theory to practical engineering problems, and reflect the problem-solving strategies discussed in the associated Procedures for Analysis feature. All example problems are presented in a concise manner and in a style that is easy to understand. · General Analysis and Design Problems comprise the majority of problems in the book and depict realistic situations encountered in engineering practice. Some of these problems come from actual products used in industry. It is hoped that this realism will both stimulate the student’s interest in engineering mechanics and provide a means for developing the skill to reduce any such problem from its physical description to a model or symbolic representation to which the principles of mechanics may be applied. · REVISED! Preliminary Problems can be found throughout the text, just before the Fundamental Problems. The intent here is to test the student’s conceptual understanding of the theory. Normally the solutions require little or no calculation, and as such, these problems provide a basic understanding of the concepts before they are applied numerically. All the solutions are given in the back of the text. · Improved Fundamental Problems are located just after the Preliminary Problems. They offer students basic applications of the concepts covered in each section, and they help provide the chance to develop their problem-solving skills" · &

Updated and re-written material throughout, enhances clarity and makes the text more current. Some of the artwork has also been enlarged and improved to support these changes. · A rigorous Triple Accuracy Checking of the Fourth Edition has produced an even stronger Fifth Edition. In addition to the author’s review of all art pieces and pages, the text was checked by the following individuals: Scott Hendricks, Virginia Polytechnic University; Karim Nohra, University of South Florida; Kurt Norlin, Bittner Development Group; and Kai Beng Yap, Engineering Consultant. The SI edition was checked by three additional reviewers. · NEW! Content Revisions are incorporated in each section of the text after being carefully reviewed and, in some areas, the material has been redeveloped to better explain the concepts. Also Available with Pearson Mastering EngineeringTM Pearson Mastering Engineering is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Interactive, self-paced tutorials provide individualized coaching to help students stay on track. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts. The text and Pearson Mastering Engineering work together to guide students through engineering concepts with a multi-step approach to problems. · NEW! Learning CatalyticsTM helps instructors generate class discussion, guides lectures, and promotes peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. This interactive student-response tool, accompanied with Mastering with eText, allows instructors to use students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more sophisticated tasks and thinking. Instructors can: · Pose a variety of open-ended questions that help students develop critical-thinking skills · Monitor responses to find out where students are struggling · Use real-time data to adjust the instructional strategy and try other ways of engaging students during class · Manage student interactions by automatically grouping students for discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning
