Schaum's Outline of Statics and Strength of Materials

This work provides a solid but incremental introduction to basic statics problems. Topics covered include math fundamentals, Varignon's theorem, resolution of forces, problems involving friction, etc. The section on beam statics, notably the computation of beam shears and bending moments, is especially good. The student learns how to compute stress and strain in materials upon the application of a force or forces. There is also a section on riveted steel connections and their capacities.

This book is a great self teacher of statics and beam mechanics. It has the best treatment of the "singularity function" method for beam loading that I have read.

I have found it helpful in confirming information I was not sure about.

Plese send for me about the screw test in all universities. Tank's all over.
