This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and applications of engineering mechanics, focusing on statics concepts and problem-solving techniques.
Introduction to engineering mechanics: statics, for those who love to learn. Concepts include: particles and rigid body equilibrium equations, distributed loads, shear and moment diagrams, trusses, method of joints and sections, & inertia.
Chapter 1 Introduction to Statics Engineering Statics is the gateway into engineering mechanics, which is the application of Newtonian physics to design and analyze objects, systems, and structures with respect to motion, deformation, and failure.
The book is intended for students of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, mechanics, and all other disciplines in which statics plays a role. Contents: Fundamentals - Force Systems and Equilibrium - Centre of Gravity - Support Reactions - Trusses - Beams - Work - Friction The Author: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil.
About this Book Engineering Statics: Open and Interactive is a free, open-source textbook for anyone who wishes to learn more about vectors, forces, moments, static equilib-rium, and the properties of shapes. Specifically, it is appropriate as a textbook for Engineering Mechanics: Statics, the first course in the Engineering Mechanics series offered in most university-level engineering programs.
