Basic Mechanical Methods: Recommendations for Engineers

[Karol]

I'm interested in learning basic mechanical methods.
For example, calculation of forces on rivetted joints subjected to moment, in which I have to find the joint's center of rotation etc. I'm not interested in in-depth design of the rivet, but merely the force finding principles.
And other subjectes like those: Welds, Bolts, etc.
Can you recommend a high level, general, book?
I'm a mechanical engineer.
Thanks.

shigley mechanical design is a great book where you can find about welding , bolts and bearings etc...
the name of the books is :Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering)

I'd recommend you get a book on Materials and on Static forces. Engineering Materials 1 & 2 by Ashby & Jones might be a good start as well as Engineering Mechanics: Statics.

Norton's Machine Design: An Integrated Approach is really good.
