Statics and Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Approach

* Use of Free-Body Diagrams. Authors, Riley, Sturges and Morris, feel that a proper free-body diagram is very important in all mechanics courses. Whenever an equation of equilibrium is written, a complete, proper free-body diagram accompanies it.
* Problem Solving Procedures. Statics and Mechanics of Materials: An Integrated Approach provides students with an effective methodology for problem decomposition and solution, the ability to present results in a clear, and logical manner is emph

    This book covers the material well. Some of the later chapters tend to loose the reader with a bunch of jargon. Overall, the book facilitated my learning of the material. I am still wondering about a solutions manual to accompany the text.

    I really tried to follow this book, but I had a hard time keeping up with the poorly written text and mediocre examples. There are lots of good, well-written problems, but no way to see them solved out step by step. The back contains some answers to random questions, but I was really expecting more out of it. There is no online site for students to accompany the text, and I really just could not wrap my head around the material as a beginning engineering student. Maybe this text would be preferable for someone with a background in statics or a foundation in the material already. If this is a required text for your class, I might consider some other supplementary material…

    At the bookstore on campus, I bought this book for about 120$. Buying it on Amazon only cost me 40$, which it the best deal I’ve ever gotten with anything. The book came in really nice condition, basically brand-new and took about 2 weeks to actually arrive at my doorstep. That’s a little longer then I would have hoped, but I was still able to sell my bookstore statics book back to the college for a full refund so no real problem. For a third of the price this is a deal that can’t be passed up.
