Features: This book is divided into two volumes, "Engineering Mechanics I" and "Engineering Mechanics II," serving as teaching materials for applied undergraduate mechanical engineering programs. "Engineering Mechanics I" covers topics such as statics of particles and rigid bodies, force system simplification, friction, equilibrium equations and their applications, basic deformation of materials including tension and compression, shear and bearing, torsion, and bending, as well as column stability, strength theory, combined deformation, and the calculation of internal forces in ropes. "Engineering Mechanics II" 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 bars, 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 credits (recommended credit hours: 52–64); the first five parts of "Engineering Mechanics I and II" can be used as teaching materials for courses with moderate credit hours (recommended credit hours: 72–84); the entire book of "Engineering Mechanics I and II" can be used as a textbook for courses with more credits (recommended credit hours: 84–96). Chapters marked with an asterisk are optional, and exercises marked with an asterisk are optional assignments. The target readers of this book are students in applied undergraduate mechanical engineering programs, as well as students in near-mechanical and non-mechanical disciplines in other types of higher education institutions.
