Book Overview
This best-selling book offers a concise and thorough presentation of engineering mechanics theory and application. The material is reinforced with numerous examples to illustrate principles and imaginative, well-illustrated problems of varying degrees of difficulty. The book is committed to developing its users' problem-solving skills and includes pedagogical features that have made Hibbeler synonymous with excellence in the field. Chapter topics cover general principles, force vectors, equilibrium of a particle, force system resultants, equilibrium of a rigid body, structural analysis, internal forces, friction, center of gravity and centroid, moments of inertia, virtual work, kinematics of a particle, kinetics of a particle: force and acceleration, kinetics of a particle: work and energy, kinetics of a particle: impulse and momentum, planar kinematics of a rigid body, planar kinetics of a rigid body: force and acceleration, planar kinetics of a rigid body: work and energy, planar kinetics of a rigid body: impulse and momentum, three-dimensional kinematics of a rigid body, three-dimensional kinetics of a rigid body, and vibrations. For individuals involved in the study of mechanical/civil/aeronautical engineering.

Got this for an engineering course
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This has some great explanations on engineering statics in the field of mechanics. This is great for mechanical, industrial, and civil engineers. It has a good variety of problems, examples and solutions.
Great Shape

I got what I wanted when I wanted it. It was in great condition. No problems.
Good Statics and Dynamics Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Although I never took either class, I would rate this a relatively good statics and dynamics book. This is not the type of book where you can "skim" through pages and learn the topics. It might be a tough read, but I still give it a high rating.
Excelent book

I had a very poor teacher, without this book and it's great examples I'm not so sure I would have even passed the class. I can honestly say I've learded the most from this one book than all of my other engineering coursed so far. I definately learned more from the book than I did from the instructor.
This is an excellent book!

This is the best book I have used in any engineering class. The text is clear and well-written, not long-winded or confusing. The book also contains many examples of each principle, fully worked out, along with a huge number of problems with the answers provided. This is a superb introductory test to mechanics.
