Abstract
THIS work provides a thorough elementary introduction to applied mechanics with a strong practical and engineering bias. On the statical side the usual general theorems are developed lucidly and in order, and adequate discussions are given of the theory of frame-structures, cables and the bending of beams. In the dynamical section the kinematics and kinetics of particle motion are treated in detail, and the work concludes with chapters on energy methods in the solution of problems (including problems of fluid motion) and on uniplanar rigid dynamics. A large number of carefully graduated exercises is provided.
