Rigid Body Mechanics for Engineers is an engineering mechanics textbook that clearly and concisely presents the concepts of statics and dynamics of rigid bodies, supported by illustrative figures and drawings. The book includes examples and exercise problems that demonstrate the practical application of these concepts to real-world engineering challenges. Although designed for first-year undergraduate students, the concepts covered can be easily extended to more advanced courses such as Impact Mechanics, Vehicle Dynamics, Mechanical Vibrations, and Theory of Machines.
Key Features:
• Concise, clear, and comprehensive coverage of engineering mechanics
• Exercise problems and solved examples with practical engineering illustrations
• Multiple-choice questions for self-assessment of key concepts
• Advanced topics and illustrations that provide a foundation for higher-level courses
