Description
Book Synopsis
Engineering Mechanics is one of the fundamental branches of science which is important to educate professional engineers of any major. Most of the basic engineering courses, such as mechanics of materials, fluid and gas mechanics, machine design, mechatronics, acoustics and vibrations, etc. are based on Engineering Mechanics course. In order to absorb the materials of Engineering Mechanics, it is not enough to consume just a theoretical laws and theorems. A student also must develop an ability to solve practical problems. Therefore, it is necessary to solve many problems independently. The offered series of books are supplement to the Engineering Mechanics course in learning and applying the principles required to solve practical engineering problems in following branches of Mechanics: Statics, Kinematics, Dynamics and Advanced Kinetics. Each book contains several (between 6 and 8) topics of the branch. Each topic has 30 problems to be assigned as homework, tests and midterm/final exams with the consent of the instructor. A solution of one similar sample problem from each topic is provided.
The first book contains 7 topics of the Statics, which is the branch of mechanics that is concerned with the analysis of forces acting on construction systems that without an acceleration (a state of the static equilibrium). The book is targeting the undergraduate students of the sophomore/junior level majoring in science and engineering.
The author acknowledges that this work is essentially a translation and a revision of selected problems provided by Professor A. A. Yablonski ("Collection of Problems for Course Projects in Theoretical Mechanics, "Vischaya Shkola" Publ., 2nd ed., 1972, in Russian). The author intended to introduce this unique work to the western academia, which is the product of material covered by him in many classes over a period of four decades in a number of universities and colleges.
