Engineering mechanics statics – SI version

by Andrew Pytel, Jaan Kiusalaas

Statics and dynamics are basic subjects in the general field known as engineering mechanics. At the risk of oversimplifying, engineering mechanics is that branch of engineering that is concerned with the behavior of bodies under the action of forces.

Statics and dynamics form the basis for many of the traditional fields of engineering, such as automotive engineering, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering.

The third edition of Engineering Mechanics: Statics written by nationally regarded authors Andrew Pytel and Jaan Kiusalaas, provides students with solid coverage of material without the overload of extraneous detail.

The extensive teaching experience of the authorship team provides first-hand knowledge of the learning skill levels of today’s student which is reflected in the text through the pedagogy and the tying together of real-world problems and examples with the fundamentals of Engineering Mechanics.

Designed to teach students how to effectively analyze problems before plugging numbers into formulas, students benefit tremendously as they encounter real life problems that may not always fit into standard formulas.

Engineering mechanics statics was designed with a rich, concise, two-color presentation and has a stand alone Study Guide which includes further problems, examples, and case studies.
