Vector Mechanics for Engineers - Statics - Ferdinand P. Beer / E. Russell Johnston Jr.
Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics by Ferdinand P. Beer and E. Russell Johnston Jr.
A Comprehensive and Rigorous Introduction to Statics
Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics is a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the fundamental principles of statics. This classic textbook provides a clear and thorough presentation of the subject matter, with a strong emphasis on problem-solving skills. The authors' approach is based on the principle of virtual work, which is used to derive all of the fundamental equations of statics. This approach provides a unified and consistent treatment of the subject matter, and it allows students to develop a deep understanding of the underlying principles.
