Features: This book is a research achievement of the "National Planning Project of Education Science in the 15th Five-Year Plan." It is based on the 21st-century curriculum textbooks "Statics" and "Mechanics of Materials" (I, II) and was compiled according to the "Basic Requirements for Engineering Mechanics in Undergraduate Engineering Programs of Higher Education." The book closely aligns with the "Basic Teaching Requirements" and strives to present the fundamental knowledge needed for engineering in a clear and concise manner. In terms of content selection, it adopts methods such as simplifying content and highlighting key points to meet the requirements of different regions and institutions for engineering mechanics courses, as well as the needs of applied talent cultivation in higher education. The book is rigorous in its concepts, concise in its language, and easy to understand. Compared to other similar textbooks, its greatest feature lies in its focus on cultivating students' comprehensive qualities and abilities. The book is divided into two parts: Statics and Mechanics of Materials. The Statics part includes six chapters: Basic Concepts of Statics, Concurrent Force Systems, Couples, Plane General Force Systems, Spatial General Force Systems, and Special Topics in Statics. The Mechanics of Materials part includes ten chapters: Introduction, Axial Tension and Compression, Torsion, Bending Internal Forces, Bending Stress, Bending Deformation, Stress State Analysis, Strength Problems in Complex Stress States, Buckling and Fatigue Strength. This book can be used as a textbook for engineering mechanics courses with fewer credits for non-mechanical and non-soil-related majors in undergraduate engineering programs of higher education, as well as for reference by teachers and students in vocational and technical colleges, adult colleges, and relevant engineering professionals.
