SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resources for studying 'Engineering Mechanics' as part of a first-year computer engineering curriculum. Key topics include the system of coplanar forces, equilibrium, friction, kinematics, and kinetics of both particles and rigid bodies. Participants recommend foundational texts such as "Engineering Mechanics" by Timoshenko and Young, emphasizing its relevance to statics rather than statistics. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding both statics and dynamics in engineering mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of coplanar forces and equilibrium principles
  • Familiarity with friction concepts in mechanics
  • Knowledge of kinematics and kinetics of particles
  • Basic grasp of rigid body dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Engineering Mechanics: Statics" by Timoshenko and Young
  • Explore online resources for kinematics of rigid bodies
  • Study the principles of virtual work in engineering mechanics
  • Investigate advanced topics in dynamics related to kinetics of particles
USEFUL FOR

Students in computer engineering, particularly first-year undergraduates, and anyone seeking to strengthen their understanding of engineering mechanics principles.

This is my portion for 'Engineering Mechanics' in the first year of my computer engineering course.
Could you suggest any websites and/or books that would help in my studies?
