This practical introduction includes all of the coverage of strength topics contained in this larger text. It's
a step-by-step presentation that is so well suited to undergraduate engineering technology students. Coverage includes:
belt friction, stress concentrations, Mohr's circle of stress, moment-area theorems, centroids by integration,
and more.
