Features: This book is developed based on the fundamental requirements and textbook writing outline for the "Engineering Mechanics" course formulated by the National Higher Vocational and Specialized College Development Guidance Committee. Its purpose is to enable students to master the basic theories and methods of engineering mechanics, with a focus on cultivating their ability to apply the theories and methods of engineering mechanics to solve practical engineering problems, while also laying a solid foundation for subsequent courses. The book is divided into two parts—"Theoretical Mechanics" and "Material Mechanics"—comprising a total of 21 chapters. The first part, "Theoretical Mechanics," primarily includes 12 chapters: Fundamentals of Statics, Plane Concurrent Force Systems and Plane Couples, Plane General Force Systems, Spatial Force Systems, Friction, Kinematics of a Point, Simple Motions of Rigid Bodies, Composite Motion of a Point, Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies, Fundamentals of Dynamics, D'Alembert's Principle (Dynamic Method), and the Kinetic Energy Theorem. The second part, "Material Mechanics," primarily includes 9 chapters: Axial Tension and Compression, Shear and Bearing, Torsion, Bending Internal Forces, Strength and Stiffness Calculations of Beams under Bending, Stress State and Strength Theory, Combined Deformation, Stability of Columns under Compression, and Dynamic Load. For ease of learning, an Appendix includes a Steel Section Table and a Table of Main Symbols, with summaries, review questions, and practice problems provided at the end of each chapter. This book can serve as a textbook for "Engineering Mechanics" courses in higher vocational and specialized colleges for engineering majors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, suitable for 90–120 academic hours. It can also be referenced by relevant engineering technicians. The book consists of two main parts: Theoretical Mechanics and Material Mechanics, with specific content including Fundamentals of Statics, Plane Concurrent Force Systems and Plane Couples, Plane General Force Systems, Spatial Force Systems, Friction, etc.
