Engineering Mechanics - Statics and Dynamics (11th Edition)
One of the reference books:
Engineering Mechanics - Statics and Dynamics (11th Edition)
by Russell C Hibbeler
Prof. Hibbeler taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and in Louisiana. I am lucky to have been in those two places although I didn’t meet with him personally.
Meriam, Beer
"Engineering Mechanics" by Meriam and Craig has a good collection of problems, although the reader before the problems is terse. "Vector mechanics for engineers" by Beer and Johnston deserves its name. It helps one to learn using vector methods, which come in handy when students start solving three dimensional problems.
preparing the lecture
I have the fifth edition of Meriam's Engineering Mechanics, with Volume One (Statics) and Volume two (Dynamics). I use them when preparing the lecture.

I hope you added the virtual work principle in the contents. My sincere suggestion is to make the students to solve numerical problems (solved and unsolved). This gives a good confidence to them.
I believe that "Engineering Mechanics is the Mother of other *Mechanics"

virtual work + numerical problems
Dear Ramdas,
Thanks for good suggestions.
I may add the virtual work into the section on pin-jointed structures.
I will post many numerical question for students to gain confidence.
Henry.
Welcome to The University of Manchester, and join the MACE!
Welcome to The University of Manchester, and join the MACE!
This course, MACE 11010 Engineering Mechanics for 1st year students, will lay the foundation for all your three year undergraduate experience. As Ramdas commented above, Engineering Mechanics is the Mother of other Mechanics.
Last year, the approximate intake for this class includes 80 students in Aerospace Engineering and 110 students in Mechanical Engineering. As an experiment, the class of this year will use heavily the iMechanica, a web for mechanics, to supplement the classroom teaching. Part of the grading will come from your performance in participating iMechanica discussions.
Dear Hanry Tan
Dear Hanry Tan;
I am starting my PhD education on this month and my research topic will be about underwater shock analysis and its effects on the marine structures. I know its very diffucult to study on this topic. What do you suggest me? How should I start this topic? Which materials or books do you suggest me starting about shock analysis?
Best Regards
Ozgur
This is definitely very nice one and gives indepth information
