Publisher Description: This textbook has been prepared to 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. 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, the authors working with several members of the faculty at the University of Maryland have attempted to enhance the student's learning experience when studying the first two courses in mechanics. This textbook indicates some of the changes in the philosophy adopted by the faculty when presenting the subject matter traditionally offered in the first two mechanics courses.
