Engineering Mechanics

by Basudeb Bhattacharyya

Overview

Starting from the fundamental concepts of forces and equilibrium along with the free-body diagram, the book comprehensively covers the various analytical aspects of rigid body mechanics. The text covers syllabi requirements of almost all technical universities in India. In the text, simple topics and problems precede those that are more complex and advanced. Each chapter starts with the key concepts and gradually builds up advanced concepts through detailed explanations and illustrations. Numerous solved examples, multiple-choice questions, and numerical exercises form the special feature of the book.

The focus of the book is on providing a holistic view of the subject without overburdening students with information.
