Now you can teach a rigorous, complete, and integrated treatment of two essential subject areas in engineering mechanics--statics and mechanics of materials--with Goodno/Gere’s STATICS AND MECHANICS OF MATERIALS, 1st Edition. This complete text helps you establish a strong foundation for further study in mechanics for mechanical, structural, civil, biomedical, petroleum, nuclear, aeronautical, and aerospace engineering students. The authors present numerous practical problems based on real structures, highlighting the information with state-of-the-art graphics, photographs, and detailed drawings of free-body diagrams. All example problems and end-of-chapter problems follow a systematic Four-Step Problem-Solving Approach. Students will gain increased understanding of and proficiency in setting up, formulating efficient analytical models and then solving a variety of mechanics problems as they proceed through the text.
