An Introduction to Engineering Mechanics
An Introduction to Engineering Mechanics by David Reid, published by Palgrave in 2001, is a comprehensive resource designed for students embarking on undergraduate engineering courses. This 194-page text presents a thorough exploration of engineering mechanics, integrating both statics and dynamics. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts as foundational elements in various engineering disciplines.
Readers will find that the text addresses the subject matter in a cohesive manner, treating statics as a specific aspect of dynamics. It provides a detailed examination of Newton’s equations of motion, particularly in the context of equilibrium. This edition serves as a valuable tool for those seeking to grasp the fundamental principles of mechanics, making it suitable for students across different branches of engineering.
Official synopsis Publisher
This text is aimed at students beginning an undergraduate course in any of the branches of engineering where an understanding of engineering mechanics is an essential element. It looks at the subject in its entirety treating statics and dynamics as fully integrated, with statics seen as a special subset of dynamics where Newton’s equations of motion are set equal to zero due to equilibrium considerations.
