Your ticket to excelling in mechanics of materials With roots in physics and mathematics, engineering mechanics is the basis of all the mechanical sciences: civil engineering, materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, and aeronautical and aerospace engineering.Tracking a typical undergraduate course, Mechanics of Materials For Dummies gives you a thorough introduction to this foundational subject. You'll get clear, plain-English explanations of all the topics covered, including principles of equilibrium, geometric compatibility, and material behavior; stress and its relation to force and movement; strain and its relation to displacement; elasticity and plasticity; fatigue and fracture; failure modes; application to simple engineering structures, and more. Tracks to a course that is a prerequisite for most engineering majorsCovers key mechanics concepts, summaries of useful equations, and helpful tipsFrom geometric principles to solving complex equations, Mechanics of Materials For Dummies is an invaluable resource for engineering students!

The fast and easy way to ace your statics course Does the study of statics stress you out? Does just the thought of mechanics make you rigid? Thanks to this book, you can find balance in the study of this often-intimidating subject and ace even the most challenging university-level courses.Statics For Dummies gives you easy-to-follow, plain-English explanations for everything you need to grasp the study of statics. You'll get a thorough introduction to this foundational branch of engineering and easy-to-follow coverage of solving problems involving forces on bodies at rest; vector algebra; force systems; equivalent force systems; distributed forces; internal forces; principles of equilibrium; applications to trusses, frames, and beams; and friction. Offers a comprehensible introduction to staticsCovers all the major topics you'll encounter in university-level coursesPlain-English guidance help you grasp even the most confusing conceptsIf you're currently enrolled in a statics course and looking for a friendlier way to get a handle on the subject, Statics For Dummies has you covered.

Wer hat sie schon gerne, die Statik, aber im Studium ist Sie nunmal oft ein Muss. James H. Allen erklärt Ihnen so verständlich wie möglich in diesem Buch, was Sie unbedingt über Statik wissen müssen und beginnt bei Grundlagen wie der Vektorrechnung. Außerdem erläutert er, wie Sie mit inneren und äußeren Kräften rechnen und was es über das Gleichgewicht zu wissen gibt. In einem letzten Teil geht der Autor noch einmal genauer auf besonders Ihre Bedürfnisse in der Statik als Maschinenbauer ein.
