Features: This book consists of three parts, divided into two volumes. The first volume contains two parts and sixteen chapters. The first part covers statics, including the basic concepts and axioms of statics, force analysis and free-body diagrams of objects, concurrent force systems in a plane, moments, force couples in a plane, general force systems in a plane, spatial force systems, and centers of gravity. The second part covers mechanics of materials, including the basic concepts of mechanics of materials, axial tension and compression, torsion, geometric properties of plane figures, bending internal forces, bending stresses, stress states, strength theories, bending deformation, strength calculations for combined deformation, and stability of columns. This book is intended as a teaching material for higher vocational and technical colleges in civil engineering and architecture, and is also suitable for use by adult colleges and engineering technicians.
