by Robert L. Mott, Joseph A. Untener
This text is an established
bestseller in engineering technology programs, and the Seventh Edition
of Applied Strength of Materials continues to provide comprehensive
coverage of the mechanics of materials. Focusing on active learning and
consistently reinforcing key concepts, the book is designed to aid
students in their first course on the strength of materials.
Introducing
the theoretical background of the subject, with a strong visual
component, the book equips readers with problem-solving techniques. The
updated Seventh Edition incorporates new technologies with a strong
pedagogical approach. Emphasizing realistic engineering applications for
the analysis and design of structural members, mechanical devices, and
systems, the book includes such topics as torsional deformation,
shearing stresses in beams, pressure vessels, and design properties of
materials. A "big picture" overview is included at the beginning of each
chapter, and step-by-step problem-solving approaches are used
throughout the book.
FEATURES
- Includes "the big picture" introductions that map out chapter coverage and provide a clear context for readers
- Contains everyday examples to provide context for students of all levels
- Offers examples from civil, mechanical, and other branches of engineering technology
- Integrates analysis and design approaches for strength of materials, backed up by real engineering examples
- Examines the latest tools, techniques, and examples in applied engineering mechanics
This
book will be of interest to students in the field of engineering
technology and materials engineering as an accessible and understandable
introduction to a complex field.
