Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: A Broad Cross-Section of Engineering Mechanics This work presents a wide sampling of solved problems and problems to solve. These include problems related to vectors, beams, trusses, friction (including that on inclined surfaces), virtual work, dynamics of a particle, moments of inertia, mechanical vibrations, and much more. Might be better with separate outlines on each topic I used this outline for review and with some problems I was having in a course on computational robotics I was taking a couple of years ago and I found this book to be an excellent review that answered all of my questions. However, my stepson used it in his statics and dynamics classes to help with the material when it was being presented to him for the first time, and he said he felt it brushed over some of the material in both classes. Even though this is a hefty outline, perhaps it would be better if they dedicated separate Schaum's outlines to each subject - statics and dynamics - and covered more ground in each subject rather than putting both subjects in the same book. This outline even has one chapter on mechanical vibrations, but it is just barely an overview and hardly gets into the subject at all. It might be best if that chapter were deleted entirely and more space spent on the subjects at hand. Engineering Mechanics This book was helpful in putting together arguments for problems I was working on. Good supplementary text I have always liked the Schaum's series of books. They are straightforward and to the point. This text was no exception. The most important aspect of this book is that it can be used as a supplement to most of the popular texts. I used it along with Beer & Johnston and Shames. Quite a useful book on a difficult, hands-on subject. Good supplementary text I have always liked the Schaum's series of books.
