Mechanics of Engineering (Solids): Comprising Statics and Kinetics of Solids, and the Mechanics of the Materials of Construction, or Strength and ... Use in Technical Schools (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A comprehensive guide to the principles of Applied Mechanics, this book offers a rigorous and systematic treatment of the subject for engineering students. The author presents a clear and consistent approach to the subject, emphasizing correct numerical substitution and the proper use of units of measurement. Notable features include numerous diagrams to illustrate the material and to help students visualize the concepts being discussed. This book is unique in its thorough treatment of topics such as Centrifugal force and Work and Energy in machines. The author avoids the use of the artificial method of regarding a particle moving uniformly in a circle as in equilibrium, instead grounding the discussion in Newton's laws. The book also features an early and gradual development of the general theorem of Work and Energy in machines, rather than a single demonstration that may be too abstract for students. The author encourages students to make frequent mention of the quality of the various kinds of quantity employed and to adopt a corresponding phraseology, a practice that aids in the development of a deep understanding of the subject. This book is an invaluable resource for undergraduate engineering students and will also benefit practicing engineers who seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of Applied Mechanics.
