ENGINEERING MECHANICS: STSTICS ANTHONY BEDFORD,WALLECE T.FOWLER Księgarnia

Features

True problem-solving approach in examples-Structures most examples into three sections: Strategy, Solution, and Discussion: Strategy-Lays out plan of attack for example. Encourages students to think about the challenges inherent in an example. Solutions-A complete step-by-step solution follows that focuses heavily on free-body diagrams and uses them as a tool, and Discussion-Asks the student to consider alternate methods of solution or proposes ways to re-check work.
- Encourages students to think about how to solve examples v. following a list.
Engineering design-Includes "Application to Engineering" examples that provide discussions of the uses of statics in engineering design.
Emphasizes application-Places statics within the context of engineering practice by including applications from many fields of engineering.
Computational mechanics examples-Provide optional self-contained examples. Professors can use any programming language or math solver of their choice.
- Designed to introduce students to the use of computers in engineering.
Contains more examples than competing texts for students who learn primarily through examples.
NEW-Strengthened coverage of FBDs.
NEW-A revised discussion of loads (Ch. 6).
NEW-All examples now titled to indicate exactly what material they cover.
NEW-Enhanced graphic design and improved art programs.
- Engages students with more real-world photographs.
NEW-Study questions-Many sections end with 3-4 brief, open ended study questions.
- Tests a student's understanding of a section.
NEW-400 new problems-Provide ample opportunity to review concepts.
NEW-Statics Homework Lab-Testing/Quizzing software that lets students solve random problems and report their work to professors for grades.

Statics Study Pack

Contains Free Body Diagram Workbook, Working Model CD-ROM, and Drill Website containing practice problems with full solutions.

100 page workbook-Steps students through numerous free body diagram problems. Full explanations and solutions are provided.
- Provides the supplemental explanation and drill that students need for this difficult topic.
Working Model Based CD-ROM- Contains over 25 simulations that are tied directly to examples in the book by number, and use actual art from the book to provide a one to one correlation between book and CD. Students do not need to know how to program working model. All simulations are preset and students can experiment with them by simply adjusting sliders that change values. For more experienced users, all functions of working Model are available except the Save function.
- Helps students better understand concepts in Statics.
Password protected website-Provides over 500 statics/dynamics problems with solutions. Solutions contain both math and associated free body diagrams. Password for the site is listed on the inside cover of the Study Pack workbook. Website also creates an easy syllabus builder tool that helps professors create their own online syllabus.
- Students can use these for practice before quizzes and tests, as well as self-drill.
NEW-Presentation CD-ROM-Contains PowerPoint slides and .pdf files of many figures in the text for easy creation of electronic presentations.
NEW-Course Management options for 2002-CourseCompass, WebCT, Blackboard support.
