"The objective of this sixth edition is to cover statics and strength of materials at an elementary level, where calculus is not required. However, for instructors who use the text to teach in accredited programs in the technologies, sections requiring calculus are in-cluded. Those sections relate to centroids and moments of inertia of plane areas, and deflection of beams by integration. Marked with an asterisk in the table of contents, this material can be omitted without a loss of continuity.<br/>Statics and Strength of Materials is written for students enrolled in the industrial technology or engineering technology curriculum, and in university-level courses for nonengineering majors, such as architecture. It is also useful for self-study and can serve as a reference for courses in materials, materials testing, machine design, and structural design.<br/>This edition contains new text, tables, and examples/problems relating to engineered wood products. With use of these materials increasing rapidly in today's building industry, students should have some knowledge of the more popular products that are now available.<br/>We have also included a number of new Application Sidebars, and have significantly expanded the choice of problems available to both instructors and students.<br/>Aside from this additional material, the general plan of the book is unchanged. Care has been taken to present the various topics with clarity in a simple and direct fashion and to avoid information overload. To that end, more than 200 examples illustrate the principles involved.<br/>Chapters 1 through 9 provide coverage of statics, while strength of materials is covered in Chapters 10 through 18. The chapters on statics begin with a review of basic mathematics. Trigonometric formulas and the component method are employed to solve concurrent force problems. A discussion of the resultant and equilibrium of nonconcurrent forces follows, with special emphasis on the theorem of moments. Then the force analysis of structures and machines, and concurrent and nonconcurrent force systems in space, are presented. The chapters on statics conclude with friction, centers of gravity, centroids, and moment of inertia of areas. The chapters on strength of materials begin with the study of stress and strain in axially loaded members." —Preface
