Simple Engineering Mechanics

Author: Li Zhangzheng
Publisher: Sichuan University Press
Book Description:
This book, as a foundational text in mechanics, is divided into 8 chapters and covers only statics knowledge, including internal forces, stresses, deformations, and stability of rods. It does not involve kinematics or dynamics. Chapter 1 introduces fundamental concepts in mechanics, Chapter 2 discusses the projection and synthesis of plane force systems, along with a discussion of the results. Chapter 3 presents equilibrium equations and their applications. Chapter 4 introduces the concept of internal forces in members. Chapter 5 covers the calculation of stresses in members. Chapter 6 addresses the elastic deformation of members. Chapter 7 provides an introduction to stress analysis. Chapter 8 gives an overview of the stability of columns, introducing the concepts and calculations of critical pressure and critical stress for ideal columns. Finally, it introduces the stability coefficient method for stability checks of compression members, aligning with the field of civil engineering.
