Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lectures on Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics is suitable for Bachelor's level education at schools of engineering with an academic profile. It gives a concise and formal account of the theoretical framework of elementary Engineering Mechanics. This book is also available with exercises (see www.amazon.com/dp/9198128752 for SI version or www.amazon.com/dp/9198128787 for USC version). A distinguishing feature of this textbook is that its content is consistently structured into postulates, definitions and theorems, with rigorous derivations. The reader finds support in a wealth of illustrations and a cross-reference for each deduction. This textbook underscores the importance of properly drawn free-body diagrams to enhance the problem-solving skills of students. Table of contents I. STATICS . . . 1. Introduction . . . 2.
