Session 3268 Problem Solving in Statics and Dynamics: A Proposal for a Structured Approach Gary L. Gray, Francesco Costanzo, Michael E. Plesha The Pennsylvania State University / The Pennsylvania State University / University of Wisconsin–Madison Abstract It has been the authors’ experience that, even with the most careful presentation, students perceive the solutions to problems in statics, and especially dynamics, to be a “hodgepodge” of techniques and tricks. This is also born out by feedback the author’s have received from colleagues and from the approximately 50 expert reviewers of the statics and dynamics books that the authors ...
