Features: This book is one of the series textbooks for mechanics courses approved by the Ministry of Education for the 21st century. It is suitable for the needs of tiered, small-scale, and modular teaching in undergraduate engineering mechanics courses. The book is divided into eight chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 cover the fundamentals of motion analysis; Chapters 3 and 4 are on Newtonian mechanics, where the basic physical quantities of dynamics are first compiled, followed by the introduction of general theorems of dynamics; Chapters 5 and 6 introduce D'Alembert's principle and the principle of virtual displacement, respectively; Chapter 7 covers the general equations of kinematics and the second-order Lagrange equation; and Chapter 8 introduces the basics of linear vibration. When writing this book, the author strives for concise content, selects representative examples and exercises, and includes summaries, discussion questions, and exercises at the end of each chapter. This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate engineering mechanics courses and is also a reference for engineering professionals.
