5.0 out of 5 stars
Statics and Strength of Materials (NonCalculus),
This review is from: Applied Statics and Strength of Materials (Hardcover)
When I first started Statics and Strength of Materials I had trouble understanding Statics and some theories in Strength of Materials. I have studied and read "Schaum's Outline Statics and Strength of Materials" by John J. Jackson & Harold G. Wirtz, and also "Applied Statics and Strength of Materials" by Spiegel Limbrunner.
This is the best book I read on this subject so far. After reading this book I finally understood everything. The book is very readable the author did a excellent job explaining everything specially in Statics. If your learning this subject for the first time this is the book to get. The only down fall of this book is that there are errors and misprints in some of the examples in this book. Hopefully they come out with a second edition with the errors and misprints corrected. I still gave this book 5 stars because of the superior job the author did in explaining this subject.

I finally understand structures!,

This review is from: Applied Statics and Strength of Materials (Hardcover)
This book is nothing short of wonderful. I have always struggled with structures and statics but after using this text, it's all finally clear! The author is very thorough yet not overly wordy and has a way of explaining these topics that makes them easy to understand while not detracting from their complex applications. I would recommend this text to both students and practicing professionals. Rarely does an individual possess the ability to explain topics in a way that can educate both those who are very familiar with these topics and those to who these topics are completely foreign. A great buy!
4.0 out of 5 stars
