Engineering Mechanics: Get Your Top Book Recommendations Here!

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking recommendations for a detailed book on Engineering Mechanics, specifically focusing on Newtonian Mechanics. Participants emphasize the importance of in-depth theoretical explanations over problem sets. Suggestions include classic texts like "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Kleppner and "The Feynman Lectures on Physics." However, it's noted that comprehensive handbooks may offer the closest resource, albeit with less depth due to their format. The thread highlights the need for specificity in requests to elicit more targeted responses.

Plz recommend me a very good book for Engineering Mechanics

Plz..atleast reply guys..I know such question "generally" get no replies..I want "ur recommended best book=ur view"...not "the best book"
Thanks for Visiting the thrd
Bye

hey...I don't see why does this happen to every thread of this kind...huh?
Plz reply... :smile:
 
If you are more specific, I'm sure you will get some replies.
 
ok...Thanks


I want a good book for "Engineering Mechanics" the one which explains everything to damn detailed levels...
Problems is not an issue..I want the subject matter(theory) to be great great details...
Thats all..hope this was specific...if not please take the effort to tell me..what more specifications I should post(I think I had the only specification I posted in this post)..:smile
Thanks..
 
But there is no such book, the closest you wil get are the Handbooks, and they have to be very straightforward due to book size limits. The biggest I own is about 3000 pages, full of quick reference tables.

You may try the "Machinery's Handbook":

Or, perhaps, the "Mechanical Engineer's Handbook" will suit you best, but don't expect in depth theory:

hey thaks..but friend I was talikng of "Newtonian Mechanics" (in depth treatment)=> that engg mechanics

Now you are being specific.
I'm sure you will get replies from the physicists in this forum, if you direct your thread to them.
 
Hard to say without knowing anything about you & what you know already, but here's a list in roughly ascending order:

An introduction to mechanics, Kleppner, Daniel
The Feynman Lectures on Physics, esp volume 1, Feynman, Richard P.
Principles of dynamics, Donald T. Greenwood
Classical mechanics, Goldstein, Herbert

These are just a few 'classics' there are many other good books. search amazon "classical mechanics" and/or "dynamics" for more with reviews
Good Luck
