Features: This book is divided into 3 parts, totaling 13 chapters. Part 1 (3 chapters) covers statics, including: basic concepts and force analysis in statics, equivalent and simplification of force systems, equilibrium conditions and equilibrium equations of force systems. Part 2 (8 chapters) covers mechanics of materials, including: an overview of mechanics of materials, internal force analysis and internal force diagrams of members, stress and deformation analysis and strength design of axially loaded members, stress and deformation analysis and strength and stiffness design of circular shafts under torsion, bending strength, bending stiffness, stress state and strength theory and their engineering applications, stability analysis and stability design of columns. Part 3 (2 chapters) covers reference topics, including: an overview of dynamic loads and fatigue strength, and an overview of mechanics of materials for new materials. This book emphasizes fundamental concepts rather than lengthy theoretical derivations or cumbersome numerical calculations. It also focuses on strengthening engineering concepts by introducing numerous engineering examples from various fields, as well as engineering-related examples and problems. Accompanying this book is a main (main teaching material) consisting of a student study guide, a teacher reference book, and electronic lesson plans for classroom teaching. The entire set of teaching materials can be used as a textbook for engineering mechanics courses in science and engineering disciplines at universities and colleges.
