Statics - Igor Emri Arkady Voloshin Gebunden

This textbook introduces and explains the basic concepts on which statics is based utilizing real engineering examples. The authors emphasize the learning process by showing a real problem analyzing it simplifying it and developing a way to solve it. This feature teaches students intuitive thinking in solving real engineering problems using the fundamentals of Newton¿s laws. This book also: · Stresses representation of physical reality in ways that allow students to solve problems and obtain meaningful results · Emphasizes identification of important features of the structure that should be included in a model and which features may be omitted · Facilitates students' understanding and mastery of the flow of thinking practiced by professional engineers
