Focusing on the fundamentals of material statics and strength, Applied Statics and Strength of Materials, Fifth Edition presents a non-Calculus-based, elementary, analytical, and practical approach, with rigorous, comprehensive example problems that follow the explanation of theory and very complete homework problems that allow trainees to practice the material. The goal of the book is to provide readers with the necessary mechanics background for more advanced and specialized areas of study in the many fields of engineering technology — for example, civil, mechanical, construction, architectural, industrial, and manufacturing.

From the Back Cover
This fifth edition of Applied Statics and Strength of Materials presents a non-calculus based elementary, analytical and practical approach to the principles and physical concepts of statics and strength of materials. The book focuses on the mastery of basic principles. It features a rigorous, comprehensive step-by-step problem-solving approach; an abundance of worked-out examples and homework problems; and a focus on principles and applications for many fields of engineering technology.
Features of this text include:
- Revised and updated content enhances the teaching aspects of the text.
- Each chapter is written to introduce more complex material gradually.
- Numerous computer problems help reinforce students’ understanding of the concepts.
- Problems at the end of each chapter are grouped and referenced to a specific section. These problems are followed by a group of supplemental problems provided for review purposes. Generally, problems are arranged in order of increasing difficulty.
- Design and analysis aids are included in an extensive appendix section, making the book self-contained. Both U.S. Customary and SI date are presented.

Applied Statics and Strength of Materials,
By Edwin G. Kippenhan (Tamuning, Gu USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Applied Statics and Strength of Materials (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
This book presents complicated problems in an easy to follow step by step manner. Calculus is not required to work the problems. An excellent reference or text.

Not very good instructions...,

This review is from: Applied Statics and Strength of Materials (4th Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is just okay. The book has fairly good explanations of the ideas, but in the "step by step" examples, they don't always tell you what they're doing. I don't know if they're just assuming I'll catch it, but if you're trying to figure out how to do the problem, it's sometimes very hard to understand how they get what they do. My college professor doesn't like this book for that reason either, but I guess there's not much to choose from in this area...And there ARE answers to the odd numbered questions in the back of the book, which helps.

Great intro to engineering,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Applied Statics and Strength of Materials (5th Edition) (Hardcover)
I had to purchase this book for a class and it is a great introductory book. The book is non calc based so not everything is covered but if you need to communicate with an engineer and learn engineering terminonlogy this is the book for you. Several topics are covered such as simple truss anaylsis and load distribution as well thermal effects on building materials. Material testing regulations and standards are also discussed. There are many more topics covered that can put you on track when communicating with an engineer. I am a carpenter and communicating with engineers is sometimes an everyday event. Knowing engineering basics helps tremedously.
