Applied Mechanics

A companion to "Mechanical Engineering Science", this text emphasizes the relationship between forces, the diagrams being designed with this in mind. Each major topic includes worked examples and specially prepared problems for the student. It emphasizes practical engineering applications to maintain interest and provide a background for the student, while expanded chapters on dynamics with an introduction to aircraft and rocket machines are included in this edition. It is designed for students taking BTEC Certificate and Diploma courses in Mechanical and Production Engineering at levels II and III including Engineering Science, Mechanical Science, Dynamics, Energy, Materials Technology, Fluid Mechanics, and Engineering Design.
