Statics and mechanics of materialsprovides a comprehensive and well illustrated introduction to the theory and application of statics and mechanics of materials the text presents a commitment to the development of student problem solving skills and features many pedagogical aids unique to hibbeler texts. This book presents the foundations and applications of statics and mechanics of materials by emphasizing the importance of visual analysis of topics especially through the use of free body diagrams it also promotes a problem solving approach to solving examples through its strategy solution and discussion format in examples. Mec 323 statics and mechanics of materials statics will cover rigid body equilibrium including two and three force members trusses frames and machines mechanics of materials will cover introductory stress and strain hookes law axial and torsional loading and statically indeterminate problems. This book represents a combined abridged version of two of the authors books namely engineering mechanics statics fourteenth edition and mechanics of materials tenth edition
