Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics

What is Mechanics, Mechanics is the science that explains and predicts the rest bodies as well as their motions which forces may be applied to. As important part of mechanics, Mechanics of rigid bodies deals with statics and dynamics condition. Resistance of actual structures and machines can be analyzed by vector analysis with concepts of mass, time, space and force. That’s why Vector Mechanics for Engineers is important as one of option to get problem solution. So engineers must draw their own experiences according to the intuitions to state and understand the actual engineering situation.

As first course in mechanics subject, Vector Mechanics for Engineers can help engineering student to determine their abilities to develop and analyze related problems in simple way and logical step.

This Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics textbook approaches and derives the fundamental principles with simpler solution for statics and mechanics, particularly for three dimensional cases. The author presents practical applications from the earlier stage to more difficult principles. In statics, partial constraints is introduced to define the moment of force under general force system. Dynamics, which correlates to force, mass and acceleration to result energy, work and momentum is introduced by using particles only and then it will associate to motion of rigid body particularly for getting solution of rectilinear motions with graphical methods.

This Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics book is best choice for student reference because the problems can be easily visualized with unified presentation for two and three dimensional problems with more meaningful discussion. The free body diagrams are also postponed to determine the equivalence of two forces vectors with more intuitive algebraic equations. Truly, this book has its superiority in including both statics and mechanics concept (not only vector mechanics statics or dynamics only) which is presented in four color to distinguish the vectors such as velocity, acceleration and force.

By reading this book, you can obtain the better understanding of Vector Mechanics which can be integrated to iterative numerical solution methods, so you can apply various equations by using computer. In addition, the author provides online supplements of learning and tutorial in this site, www.mhhe.com/beerjhonston7
