Nationally regarded authors Andrew Pytel and Jaan Kiusalaas bring a depth of experience that can't be surpassed in this third edition of Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics. They have refined their solid coverage of the material without overloading it with extraneous detail and have revised the now 2-color text to be even more concise and appropriate to today's engineering student. The text discusses the application of the fundamentals of Newtonian dynamics and applies them to real-world engineering problems. An accompanying Study Guide is also available for this text.

Plastic methods are well established, particularly for economical design of steel structures, but they are also of interest from a theoretical point of view. This well established textbook includes numerous worked examples and problems and answers. This book should be of interest to undergraduate students on structural analysis and design courses, forming part of degree courses on civil and structural engineering.

Plastic behaviour and the methods for calculating the collapse load of steel structures are discussed and examined. An explanation of the effects of deflections, instability and imperfections on the collapse of structures is followed by a description of the design methods for steel structures.
