Features: This textbook is designed to meet the teaching needs of engineering mechanics for mechanical or closely related majors (60-90 academic hours). The book consists of 18 chapters, covering topics such as: basic concepts of statics, plane concurrent force systems, general plane force systems, spatial force systems, tension and compression, torsion of circular shafts, bending of beams, stress states and strength theory, combined deformation, stability of columns and alternating stress, motion of a point, basic motion of rigid bodies, composite motion of a point, plane motion of rigid bodies, fundamental laws of dynamics, the theorem of kinetic energy, the method of dynamic equilibrium, and more. An experimental guide is also included at the end of the book. The book is characterized by its close connection to engineering practice, focusing primarily on static and motion analysis of structures, as well as strength and stiffness analysis. Considering the characteristics of different disciplines, the book avoids excessive theoretical derivations. Through studying this book, readers will be able to solve general mechanical problems in engineering practice and lay a solid foundation for further reading in other mechanics-related works. This book can also serve as a reference for engineering technicians.
