Statics For Dummies
Statics is the branch of mechanics that studies rigid bodies (such as trusses, beams, dams, etc. ) at rest and the forces to which they're subjected. Statics For Dummies gives readers a thorough introduction to this foundational branch of engineering and easy-to-follow coverage of solving problems involving forces on bodies at rest.
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, and applications to trusses, frames, and beams, as well as friction.
- Offers a comprehensible introduction to statics
