Engineering mechanics: concepts and applications -- Introduction to dynamics -- Centroid and centre of gravity -- Mechanical vibrations -- Friction. "Everything from individual particles to the tallest buildings to a rushing river experiences forces and torques. Each object-liquid or solid, large or small-responds differently under different conditions. Engineering mechanics examines these external forces by studying statics, dynamics, material strength, elasticity, viscoelasticity and fluid dynamics. As a bridge between theory and application, engineering mechanics is used to formulate new ideas and theories, discover and interpret phenomena, and develop experimental and computational tools. Engineering mechanics is the application of mechanics to solve problems involving common engineering elements. The concepts of statics and dynamics are basically a categorisation of rigid body mechanics. Dynamics is the branch of mechanics that deals with the analysis of physical bodies in motion, and statics deals with objects at rest or moving with constant velocity. This means that dynamics implies change and statics implies changelessness, where change in both cases is associated with acceleration. This book is designed essentially for all engineering students. It explains the fundamental concepts and principles underlying the subject and illustrates the application of numerical methods to solve engineering"-- Back cover. Mechanics, Applied.
