Description
Engineering Mechanics is a textbook specifically designed for a one-semester interdisciplinary course offered at the university level for undergraduate engineering programmes in India.
The book addresses both statics and dynamics, the integral parts of rigid body mechanics. The book starts with a discussion of the basics and then delves into the concepts of equilibrium, properties of surfaces and solids, dynamics, friction, and rigid body mechanics. The book uses a problem-solving approach to the subject and provides rich pedagogical support.Table of contents
Chapter 1. Fundamentals of Mechanics
Chapter 2. Statics of Particle: Coplanar, Concurrent Forces (Forces on a Plane)
Chapter 3. Statics of Particle: Concurrent, Non-coplanar Forces (Forces in Space)
Chapter 4. Statics of Rigid Body: Non-concurrent, Coplanar Forces (Plane Rigid Body and Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies)
Chapter 5. Properties of Surfaces and Solids
Chapter 6. Kinematics of Particle
Chapter 7. Kinetics of Particle
Chapter 8. Friction
Chapter 9. Dynamics of Rigid Bodies
Features
- Adopts simple algebraic methods of solving problems instead of the conventional vectorial method
- Uses a simple and direct style of writing with effective terminologies and nomenclatures to explain the concepts
- Incorporates ‘quadrant approach' to resolve forces that act on planes
- Contains numerous solved problems and exercises with hints for practice
- Provides objective-type questions with answers
- Includes solved model question papers for practice
