Description

Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics is specially designed for a one-semester interdisciplinary course offered to the first-year engineering students pursuing an undergraduate engineering programme.

The book addresses both statics and dynamics—the integral parts of rigid body mechanics. Beginning with the basics of the subject, the book delves into concepts of equilibrium, properties of surfaces and solids, friction, and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. It employs a problem-solving approach that helps students discover, explore, and connect with the subject and also provides rich pedagogical support.

About the author

Vela Murali is Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Former Head of the Engineering Design Division, College of Engineering, Guindy, Anna University, Chennai. A PhD from the National University of Singapore, he has more than 25 years of experience in teaching various undergraduate and postgraduate mechanical engineering courses.

He has done extensive research in the areas of fracture, fatigue, composite materials, and applied mechanics, and has published many articles in national and international journals of repute. He has also co-authored a book on Engineering Drawing, published in 2015, by Oxford University Press, India.
