Features: This book is divided into two volumes, Engineering Mechanics I and Engineering Mechanics II, serving as a textbook for applied undergraduate mechanical engineering students. This textbook is designed for the current mathematical and physical foundation of applied undergraduate students, addressing the curriculum reform in mechanical engineering brought by informatization, and considering the significant reduction in the number of Engineering Mechanics class hours at various schools. While ensuring the fundamental theoretical content of Engineering Mechanics, it emphasizes practicality and modernity, simplifies derivation processes appropriately, and introduces the internal force calculations of engineering cables such as suspension bridges and transmission lines. It also covers the mechanical behavior of new materials such as polymers, composites, and industrial ceramics.
Content of Engineering Mechanics I:
This volume includes: force analysis of particles and rigid bodies in statics, simplification of force systems, friction, equilibrium equations and their applications, basic deformation of members (tension and compression), shear and bearing, torsion, bending, column stability, strength theory, combined deformation, and internal force calculations of cables.
Content of Engineering Mechanics II:
This volume includes: composite motion of points, plane motion of rigid bodies, the principle of momentum, the principle of moment of momentum, the principle of kinetic energy, inertia forces, dynamic loads and alternating stresses, material endurance limits and fatigue theory, plastic deformation of members, viscoelastic behavior of polymers, mechanical properties of ceramic materials, and mechanical properties of composite materials.
The arrangement of chapters in this book takes into account the needs of different universities and disciplines. Engineering Mechanics I can be used as a textbook for courses with fewer class hours; Volumes 1-5 of Engineering Mechanics I and II can be used as textbooks for courses with moderate class hours; and the entire book of Engineering Mechanics I and II can be used as a textbook for courses with more class hours. Chapters marked with an asterisk () are optional, and exercises marked with an asterisk () are optional assignments.
The target readers of this book are applied undergraduate mechanical engineering students, as well as students from near-mechanical and non-mechanical disciplines in other types of higher education institutions.
