Features: This book is divided into two parts, Part I and Part II, with a total of 18 chapters. Part I covers the fundamental content of theoretical mechanics, including statics, kinematics, and dynamics. Statics includes the basics of statics, force analysis of objects, plane concurrent force systems and plane couples, arbitrary plane mechanics, spatial force systems, and friction. Kinematics includes the kinematics of a point, the basic motion of rigid bodies, the composite motion of a point, and the plane motion of rigid bodies. Dynamics includes the fundamental equations of particle dynamics, the impulse theorem, the moment of momentum theorem, the kinetic energy theorem, D'Alembert's principle (method of statics), and the principle of virtual displacement. Part II covers advanced topics, including collisions, the general equation of dynamics, and the fundamentals of mechanical vibration. During the writing process, this book adheres to the "Basic Requirements for Theoretical Mechanics Teaching in Higher Industrial Schools" issued by the Ministry of Education while also meeting the needs of ordinary universities that focus on cultivating applied talents. It incorporates the authors' teaching experience, features a well-structured content, appropriate difficulty levels, and aligns with students' cognitive patterns, making it suitable for both teachers and students. In terms of writing methodology, the book includes additional learning guidance and innovative training content to enhance learning efficiency and strengthen students' awareness of innovation and creativity. This book can serve as a textbook for civil engineering and related disciplines (such as civil engineering and water supply and drainage engineering) in ordinary higher engineering colleges and can also be referenced by relevant engineering technicians. Additionally, this book is accompanied by a CAI teaching (teaching refers to a computer-assisted instruction package, which can be translated as "teaching software" or "teaching package" depending on the context), and free copies are provided to instructors. Interested parties in Nanchang can refer to the feedback form at the end of the book.
