Engineering Mechanics for Structures and into the new mathematicsThis text explores the mechanics of solids and statics as well as the strength of materials and elasticity theory. In addition to introducing the fundamentals of structural analysis, it combines and applies important concepts in engineering mechanics. Its many design exercises encourage creative student initiative and systems thinking. Static equilibrium, force resultants, support conditions, and analysis of determinate planar structures including
