Engineering mechanics

This volume presents the theory and applications of engineering mechanics. Discussion of the subject areas of statics and dynamics covers such topics as engineering applications of the principles of static equilibrium of force systems acting on particles and rigid bodies; structural analysis of trusses, frames, and machines; forces in beams; dry friction; centroids and moments of inertia, in addition to kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies. Newtonian laws of motion, work and energy; and linear and angular momentum are also presented.
