Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This 4th Edition, SI Version, retains the style and presentation of all previous editions. As ever, theory is reinforced through application to a wealth of engineering problems. These problems are varied and relevant to the real world, and have been extensively revised: 50 per cent of them are new for this edition. The emphasis is very much on the practice of engineering design, making many problems open-ended. The problem sets have been graded into introductory and representative, with more challenging problems located at the end of the problem sets. Computer-orientated problems, involving the finding of a condition of design or criticality, are also given, as are example problems complete with hints and suggestions.

This review is from: Engineering Mechanics, Statics and Dynamics Combined (Volumes 1 & 2) (Hardcover)

I bought this book because the assigned dynamics book (Hibbler) was so bad, and generally Mariam-Kraige gave explanations that made sense. I especially liked the fact that it was in SI, as this got rid of a lot of nonsense baggage with the units, so that I could better focus on the material.
