【簡介】 Description This text helps to develop a student's ability first to analyze problems in a simple and logical manner, and then to apply basic principles to their solutions. A strong conceptual understanding of these basic mechanics principles is essential for successfully solving mechanics problems. Continuing in the spirit of previous editions, this edition provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment of the exercise sets and online homework problems A strong conceptual understanding is essential for solving problems successfully. This edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers helps instructors and students achieve this goal by providing strong understanding and logical analysis for solving problems using SI metrics. With new concepts presented in a simplified and detailed manner, a number of Advanced or Specialty sections are included. To keep these distinct and optional, they are marked with asterisk so users can choose whether or not to read. The text adopts SMART (Strategy, Modeling, Analysis, Reflect and Think) approach to problem solving. Maintaining its sound and significant pedagogy, approximately 300 homework problem sets are introduced or revised. The book is enhanced by rich online resources for instructors and students in Connect. 【目錄】 Table of Contents 1 Introduction 2 Statics of Particles 3 Rigid Bodies: Equivalent Systems of Forces 4 Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies 5 Distributed Forces: Centroids and Centers of Gravity 6 Analysis of Structures 7 Forces in Beams and Cables 8 Friction 9 Distributed Forces: Moments of Inertia 10 Method of Virtual Work Appendix:Fundamentals of Engineering Courses

BASIC INSIGHTS IN VECTOR CALCULUS

Basic Insights in Vector Calculus provides an introduction to three famous theorems of vector calculus, Green's theorem, Stokes' theorem and the divergence theorem (also known as Gauss's theorem). Material is presented so that results emerge in a natural way. As in classical physics, we begin with descriptions of flows. The book will be helpful for undergraduates in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, in programs that require vector calculus. At the same time, it also provides some of the mathematical background essential for more advanced contexts which include, for instance, the physics and engineering of continuous media and fields, axiomatically rigorous vector analysis, and the mathematical theory of differential forms. There is a Supplement on mathematical understanding. The approach invites one to advert to one's own experience in mathematics and, that way, identify elements of understanding that emerge in all levels of learning and teaching. Prerequisites are competence in single-variable calculus. Some familiarity with partial derivatives and the multi-variable chain rule would be helpful. But for the convenience of the reader we review essentials of single- and multi-variable calculus needed for the three main theorems of vector calculus. Carefully developed Problems and Exercises are included, for many of which guidance or hints are provided.
