SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommended reference books for studying statics, with participants currently using "Statics: Analysis and Design of Systems in Equilibrium" by Sherri D. Sheppard. Suggested additional texts include "Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics 7e" by Ferdinand P. Beer et al., "Engineering Mechanics-Statics 10e" by Russell C. Hibbeler, and "Engineering Mechanics: Statics" by Anthony Bedford and Wallace T. Fowler. The group also mentions looking for a text by Irving Shames as a potential resource.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic statics principles
  • Familiarity with vector mechanics
  • Knowledge of engineering mechanics
  • Ability to analyze systems in equilibrium
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics 7e" for comprehensive coverage of statics and dynamics
  • Explore "Engineering Mechanics-Statics 10e" by Russell C. Hibbeler for detailed problem-solving techniques
  • Investigate "Engineering Mechanics: Statics" by Anthony Bedford for alternative explanations and examples
  • Look into texts by Irving Shames for additional perspectives on statics concepts
USEFUL FOR

Students studying engineering mechanics, educators seeking reference materials for statics courses, and professionals looking to reinforce their understanding of statics principles.

I'm currently using Statics: Analysis and design of systems in equilibrium by Sherri D sheppard.

My classmates and I want another statics book for reference. We are looking into

Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics 7e
Ferdinand P. Beer (Author), Jr., E. Russell Johnston (Author), Elliot R. Eisenberg (Author), William E. Clausen (Author), George H. Staab (Author)

Engineering Mechanics-Statics 10e
by Russell C. Hibbeler

Engineering Mechanics: Statics
by Anthony Bedford (Author), Wallace T. Fowler
