Details

Engineering Mechanics is an ideal introductory text for first-year engineering students covering the three basic topic areas: statics, introductory dynamics and introductory strength of materials. Each chapter contains worked examples and self-assessment exercises to encourage students to test their own skills and knowledge as they progress. Part 1: An Introduction 1. Mechanical engineering science 2. Mathematical tools 3. Fundamental concepts and units Part 2: Static Forces 4. Force and gravity 5. Concurrent forces 6. Non-current forces Part 3: Structural Analysis 7. Reactions at beam supports 8. Pin reactions in frames 9. Internal forces in trusses Part 4: Sliding Friction 10. Dry sliding friction 11. Friction on inclined planes 12. Screws and wedges Part 5: Laws of Motion 13. Linear motion 14. Rotational motion 15. Circular motion Part 6: Work and Energy 16. Work and power 17.
