Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics

by Irving H. Shames

With its fourth edition, this text moves into its fourth decade of existence. Two main goals have been to encourage working problems from first principles in order to discourage rote learning of specific methodologies, and to "open-end" the material to later course work in other engineering sciences. The author draws on his long experience teaching sophomore mechanics a course he believes is incredibly important because it demands a new level of commitment from students, because much of what comes later depends on it, and because it so richly involves mathematics, physics, computers, and common sense.
