DESCRIPTION:
As the author of several books that Dover reprinted and still has in print, and as an advisor from the 1950s until just a few years before his death in 1989, Professor Den Hartog gave invaluable advice concerning books of lasting interest and importance in his field. About the AuthorJ. Den Hartog Award, established in 1987, is presented in recognition of lifetime contributions to the teaching and practice of vibration engineering.. The J. Among the exceptions are these four books of Professor Den Hartog, which Dover reprinted and occasionally revised in later printings from 1961 through 1987: Mechanics, 1961, Strength of Materials, 1961, Mechanical Vibrations, 1985, and Advanced Strength of Materials, 1987. Still widely read and cited by authors in these areas, Den Hartog's books are a tribute to his gift for exposition and clarity. Den Hartog (1901–1989), who taught for most of his career at MIT, was one of the founders

A wonderful refresher and self-teach text john lollard I took a course on vector statics in undergrad, and foolishly I sold my textbook back to the bookstore. I later found myself wanting a refresher and so I purchased this book. It has proven an incredible resource.The pedagogical approach is highly visual and geometric. A slip through the book will reveal that there is at least one diagram per page, all heavily labeled, and all physica. "Classical Mechanics in a classic style" according to Paul Minty. Hartog's treatment covers the fundamental aspects of mechanics in an accessible, if slightly old fashioned, way. The textbook covers statics, kinematics and basic dynamics as they are applied to machine elements and basic structures. The simplest topic is the strength of a beam, and the most complex is the gyrocompass.The textbook is valuable because it is systematic, comprehensive a. Wouldn't recommend for someone with no experience in mechanics Decent refresher on mechanics. Covers basic statics, dynamics, and some physics 1 concepts. Wouldn't recommend for someone with no experience in mechanics.
On the other hand, the work is so replete with engineering applications and actual design problems that it is as valuable as a reference to the practicing engineer as it is as a text or refresher for the general engineering student.Mechanics is not a "heavy" book, despite the amount of material it covers and the clarity and exactness with which it treats this material. It is undoubtedly one of the most readable texts in the field. List of equations. "Very thoroughly recommended to all those anxious to improve their real understanding of the principles of mechanics." — Mechanical World.Index. Over 550 diagrams and drawings.. 334 problems, all with answers. Particularly in the last two cha
