Engineering mechanics of solids (College custom series)

---

This is a book about the Mechanics of Solids, Statics, the Strength of Materials, and Elasticity Theory. But that doesn’t mean a thing unless you have had a course in the Mechanics of Solids, Statics, the Strength of Materials, or Elasticity Theory. I assume you have not; let us try again:

This is a book that builds upon what you were supposed to learn in your basic physics and mathematics courses last year. We will talk about forces – not political, but vector forces – about moments and torques, reactions, displacements, linear springs, and the requirements of static equilibrium of a particle or a rigid body. We will solve sets of linear algebraic equations and talk about when we can not find a unique solution to a set of linear algebraic equations. We will derive a whole raft of new equations that apply to particles, bodies, structures, and mecha-nisms;these will often contain the spatial derivatives of forces, moments, and displacements. You have seen a good bit of the basic stuff of this course before, but we will not assume you know the way to talk about, or work with, these concepts, principles, and methods so fundamental to our subject. So we will recast the basics in our own language, the language of engineering mechanics.

For the moment, think of this book as a language text;of yourself as a language student beginning the study of Engineering Mechanics, the Mechanics of Solids, the Strength of Materials, and Elasticity Theory. You must learn the language if you aspire to be an engineer. But this is a difficult language to learn, unlike any other foreign language you have learned. It is difficult because, on the surface, it appears to be a language you already know. That is deceptive: You will have to be on guard, careful not to presume the word you have heard before bears the same meaning. Words and phrases you have already encountered now take on a more special and, in most cases, narrower meaning;a couple of forces is more than just two forces.

An important part of learning the vocabulary, is the quick sketch. Along with learning to sketch in the engineering mechanics way, you will have to learn the meaning of certain icons;a small circle, for example, becomes a frictionless pin. So too, grammar and syntax will be crucial. Rigorous rules must be learned and obeyed. Some of these rules will at first seem pedantic;they may strike you as not only irrelevant to solving the problem, but wrong-headed or counter intuitive. But don’t despair; with use they will become familiar and reliable friends.
