Features: This book is divided into 15 chapters, including 5 chapters on statics, 4 chapters on kinematics, and 6 chapters on dynamics. The statics section covers the basic concepts of statics, force analysis of objects, and force analysis and calculation of object systems, specifically involving plane force systems, spatial force systems, plane couple systems, spatial couple systems, and friction. The kinematics section includes the motion of a point, composite motion of a point, basic motion of rigid bodies, and plane motion of rigid bodies. The dynamics section includes fundamental laws of dynamics, differential equations of motion, momentum theorem, momentum moment theorem, kinetic energy theorem, D'Alembert's principle, and the principle of virtual displacement. Each chapter concludes with a summary, discussion questions, and exercises, with answers provided at the end of the exercises. This book can serve as a textbook and teaching reference for engineering majors in ordinary universities and colleges, as well as a reference for engineering professionals.
