This textbook has been prepared to support a course offering for Statics at the University of Nevada at Reno. Statics provides the first exposure of engineering students to the study of mechanics. While Statics is a relatively simple subject, many students find it difficult, and they often perform far below our expectations. In an effort to improve the curriculum, several members of the faculty at the University of Maryland have been working t...

This textbook is one of the many titles that exist for a course in Mechanics of Materials. The content in the Mechanics of Materials text is a revision of a part of the content in a book titled Design Analysis of Structural Elements, which dates back to 2002. The textbook "Design Analysis of Structural Elements" was an integrated treatment of both Statics and Mechanics of Materials. However, it was too long and the students complained that it ...

The content of the Mechanics I textbook includes methods for determining stresses and strains in uniaxial members, column buckling loads, and a discussion of material properties and material behavior. Because we have included three topics not normally found in traditional Statics books, we have added the three plus signs to the subtitle Statics +++. We introduced the concept of stresses in uniaxial members, because an analysis of the forces in...

This book is one of the two textbooks that support an integrated course offering for Statics and Mechanics of Materials. Hopefully the integration of the topics of these two closely related courses will make the learning experience for the students easier and more meaningful. The content in the Mechanics II (Mechanics of Materials) is a revision of a part of the content in a book titled Design Analysis of Structural Elements published several ...
