Table of Contents
In this new book, the authors offer a better, class-room tested approach using a systems method: mechanics of materials is, in its fundamental concepts, introduced as a part of engineering mechanical design, in real-world terms and then, as needed, more complex principles and examples are layered in to help solve more difficult real-world engineering design problems.
This book is found in the following Credo Collections:
