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 principle of momentum, the principle of moment of momentum, the principle of kinetic energy, D'Alembert's principle (method of statics), and the principle of virtual displacement. Part II is the advanced content, 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, and is appropriately challenging, aligning with students' cognitive patterns. It is suitable for both teachers and students in teaching and learning. In terms of writing methodology, this 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, water supply and drainage engineering, etc.) in ordinary higher engineering colleges and can also be referenced by relevant engineering technicians. Additionally, this book is accompanied by a CAI teaching (teaching software), which is provided free of charge to instructors. Interested parties in Nanchang can refer to the information feedback form at the end of the book.
