Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics

Additional Book Details

The rigorous development process used to create Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics insures that it's accessible and accurate. Each draft was scrutinized by a panel of experts to suggest improvements and flush out any flaws. These carefully selected reviewers offered valuable suggestions on content, approach, accessibility, realism, and homework problems. The author team then incorporated their comments to insure that Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics reflected the real needs of teaching professionals. The authors worked out solutions to all of their homework and example problems to check for accuracy and consistency and all of the examples and homework problems were sent out to a third party to solve and cross-check each answer. And to be sure Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics was as good as it could be, we tested it in the classroom. It was a resounding success and finally ready for your class. Key Features: Numerous step-by-step examples demonstrate the correspondence between the FBD (FREE BODY DIAGRAM) and the mathematical analysis.Procedures for Analysis sections shows students how to set up and solve a problem using FBDs to promote a consistent and methodical problem-solving approach (see sec. 1.4 and 2.3 in Dynamics).Provides a Vector Approach to Statics, with a brief review of vector operations in chapters 1 and 2.Homework Problems are graded from simple to complex and are well balanced tests of theory and practical application (more than 700 in Dynamics).Contains a short review section and key terms at the end of each chapter to promote understanding of new concepts.Teaching Supplements and a Solutions Manual are available
