Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics 11E by Beer and Johnston

Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics, 11th Edition by Ferdinand Beer and Johnston, Jr., E. Russell is to help develop a student's ability first to analyze problems in a simple and logical manner, and then to apply basic principles to their solutions. A strong conceptual understanding of these basic mechanics principles is essential for successfully solving mechanics problems. This 11th edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers by Beer/Johnston/Mazurek/Cornwell will help instructors achieve these goals.

Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the 11th edition provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment of the exercise sets and online delivery of homework problems to your students. This edition has undergone a complete rewrite to modernize and streamline the language through the text. Over 650 of the homework problems in the text are new or revised. One of the characteristics of the approach used in this book is that mechanics of particles is clearly separated from the mechanics of rigid bodies. This approach makes it possible to consider simple practical applications at an early stage and to postpone the introduction of the more difficult concepts.

Mechanical Behavior of Materials 4th Edition by Dowling

Mechanical Behavior of Materials 4th Edition by Norman E. Dowling describes the spectrum of mechanical behavior of materials, emphasizing practical engineering methods for testing structural materials to obtain their properties, and predicting their strength and life when used for machines, vehicles, and structures. With its logical treatment and ready-to-use format, it is ideal for practicing engineers and upper-level undergraduates who have completed elementary mechanics of materials courses.

This text summarizes methods for students and provides an understanding of the principles behind each test method. Example property data are given, as is a discussion of trends in the properties. Substantial reference lists at the end of each chapter delivers additional information for student design or research projects, for practicing engineers needing more detailed information, or for instructors planning lectures where special detail is desired. Where appropriate, lists are subdivided to identify special categories, such as sources of stress analysis solutions or materials properties.

Appendix A offers a concise summary of equations for calculating stresses and deflections for simple engineering components such as beams, shafts, and pressure vessels. Appendix B provides an introduction to statistical data analysis and variation in materials properties. Author addresses all three major approaches, including: stress-based approach; crack growth approach, and strain-based approach.

System Dynamics 3rd Edition by William Palm III

System Dynamics 3rd Edition by William Palm III includes the strongest treatment of computational software and system simulation of any available text, with its early introduction of MATLAB® and Simulink®. The text's extensive coverage also includes discussion of the root locus and frequency response plots, among other methods for assessing system behavior in the time and frequency domains as well as topics such as function discovery, parameter estimation, and system identification techniques, motor performance evaluation, and system dynamics in everyday life.

The decision to write a textbook often comes from the author’s desire to improve on available texts. The decisions as to what topics to include and what approach to take emerge from the author’s teaching experiences that give insight as to what is needed for students to master the subject. This text is based on the author’s thirty-seven years of experience in teaching system dynamics.

This experience shows that typical students in a system dynamics course are not yet comfortable with applying the relevant concepts from earlier courses in dynamics and differential equations. Therefore, this text reviews and reinforces these important topics early on. Students often lack sufficient physical insight to relate the mathematical results to applications. The text therefore uses everyday illustrations of system dynamics to help students to understand the material and its relevance.

If laboratory sessions accompany the system dynamics course, many of the text’s examples can be used as the basis for experiments. The text is also a suitable reference on hardware and on parameter estimation methods.

Mechanics of Materials 8th Edition by James M. Gere

Mechanics of Materials 8th Edition by James M. Gere and Robert Kolenkow develops student understanding along with analytical and problem-solving skills. The main topics include analysis and design of structural members subjected to tension, compression, torsion, bending, and more. The book includes more material than can be taught in a single course giving instructors the opportunity to select the topics they wish to cover while leaving any remaining material as a valuable student reference.

The authors do and excellent job of discussing the topics at a level I believe will be absorbed by the students. They also make a good effort to highlight the important issues and points in the text by italicizing or bolding. I feel that the author has done an excellent job of relating real structures to solid body analysis techniques, and haspresented and discussed it in a manner that I think students will appreciate.

"The homework problems are perhaps the strongest point of the text. The problems cover the waterfront in variety, complexity and coverage. They include numerous examples that are found inthe real world and students can identify with them.
