Statics and Dynamics Equations 4

[wtlebo]

Anyone know where i can find a resource on the web of dynamics and statics equations. can't find my college text books.

You can buy the books very cheap on E-bay or in second hand shops.

statics:

sumForces=0

dynamics:

sumForces=ma

The rest is calculus and diff. eq..

 

[JStephen]

Schaum's outlines used to have a book on "Fundamental Equations of Engineering and Physics" or something of the sort- check for it.

Dover books (? I think) is selling a handbook of mechanical engineering. I saw it a barnes and nobel for $35. Best book for the price I've seen. I plan on picking it up next time i'm there....

But... Taking BigTomHanks advice... pick up the

How to Ace Calculus : The Streetwise Guide

by Adams, Thompson, & Haas... It's $10 and the best calc review i've ever seen.

If you simply need the equations, go to

http://www.ncees.org

and download the fundamentals of engineering handbook.

For more explanation, try this website,

http://claymore.engineer.gvsu.edu.

I have not checked this for current status but downloaded his "engineer on disk" a while back and there is a lot of interesting information. If the above website doesn't work, try googling "enginer on disk" to find it.

If I were you, I would prepare a handbook for myself, online formulas dosn't much help in some cases.

Assuming you are not in a large city with an institution of higher learning with a bookstore, or a "used books" store with a technical section, there is always Amazon.com. I searched on Statics and Dynamics text and got a bazillion hits; new and used books.

Also check out the on-line MIT lectures. I've been a bit underwhelmed by the courses I looked at but they may get you going.

I can't say I'd recommend any of the university coursebooks I've got either, but it depends what field you are looking at.

Thomas Gillespie's book on vehicle dynamics seems quite rigorous and is a reasonably interesting book if you are into Vehicle Dynamics.

He teaches a really good refresher course too, if you ever get the chance (at least he used to).

You could also try

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hph.html

it's fairly generic, but if you're just looking for something basic it's got a lot of formulas.
