About Statics And Mechanics Of Materials
Product Description Master two essential subjects in engineering mechanics--statics and mechanics of materials--with the rigorous, complete, and integrated treatment found in STATICS AND MECHANICS OF MATERIALS. This practical text helps you establish a strong foundation for further study in mechanics that is essential whether you continue in mechanical, structural, civil, biomedical, petroleum, nuclear, aeronautical, or aerospace engineering. The authors present numerous practical problems based on real structures, using state-of-the-art graphics, photograph, and detailed drawings of freebody diagrams. All example problems and end-of-chapter problems follow a comprehensive, organized, and systematic Four-Step Problem-Solving Approach to help you strengthen important problem-solving skills and gain new insight into methods for dissecting and solving problems. This free website also contains nearly 200 FE-type review problems to help prepare you for success on the FE Exams. Review "Authors do a good job of introducing terminology, concepts, and methods incrementally, and backing them up with examples to solidify the concepts...Example problems are numerous and well chosen. Explanations of their solution are complete if at times a little lengthy�Graphics are well-thought-out and appropriate." "The audience is recognized, the pace is good and the examples are appropriate and relatable�There is nice breadth and depth in the content and the problems, with a nice combination of theoretical and practical content." About the Author Barry John Goodno is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. He joined the Georgia Tech faculty in 1974. He was an Evans Scholar and received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Structural Engineering from Stanford University. He holds a professional engineering license (P.E.) in Georgia, is a Distinguished Member of ASCE and an Inaugural Fellow of SEI and has held numerous leadership positions within ASCE. He is a member of the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) of ASCE and is a past president of the ASCE Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) Board of Governors. He is also past-chair of the ASCE-SEI Technical Activities Division (TAD) Executive Committee and past-chair of the ASCE-SEI Awards Committee. In 2002, Dr. Goodno received the SEI Dennis L. Tewksbury Award for outstanding service to ASCE-SEI. He received the departmental award for Leadership in Use of Technology in 2013 for his pioneering use of lecture capture technologies in undergraduate statics and mechanics of materials courses at Georgia Tech. Dr. Goodno is also a member of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) and has held leadership positions within the NSF-funded Mid-America Earthquake Center (MAE), directing the MAE Memphis Test Bed Project. Dr. Goodno has carried out research, taught graduate courses and published extensively in areas of earthquake engineering and structural dynamics during his tenure at Georgia Tech. Like co-author and mentor James Gere, he has completed numerous marathons including qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon in 1987. James Monroe Gere was Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at Stanford University. He earned undergraduate and master�s degrees in Civil Engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1949 and 1951, respectively. Dr. Gere worked as an instructor and later as a Research Associate for Rensselaer between 1949 and 1952. He was awarded one of the first NSF Fellowships and chose to study at Stanford. He received his Ph.D. in 1954 and was offered a faculty position in Civil Engineering, beginning a 34-year career of engaging his students in challenging topics in mechanics, structural, and earthquake engineering. He served as Department Chair and Associate Dean of Engineering and in 1974 co-founded the John A. Blume Earthquake Engineering
