Features: This book is a textbook to "Fundamentals of Engineering Mechanics II" (Mechanics of Materials), covering the theoretical mechanics portion. The entire book is divided into two parts, consisting of twelve chapters. Part I is Statics, including five chapters on the basic concepts of statics, simplification of plane force systems, equilibrium of plane force systems, equilibrium of spatial force systems, and the center of gravity, center of mass, and centroid of objects. The second part is Kinematics and Dynamics, including seven chapters on the kinematics of a point, the basic motion of rigid bodies, the composite motion of a point, the general plane motion of rigid bodies, the principle of momentum, the theorem of kinetic energy, and D'Alembert's principle.
