Engineering Mechanics: Statics And Dynamics

Engineering Mechanics: Statics And Dynamics by S. Rajasekaran

---

Book Summary:

Engineering Mechanics–Statics and Dynamics is an ideal textbook designed essentially for all engineering students. Adequately equipped with numerous solved problems and exercises, this book provides sufficient material for a two-semester course or two one-semester courses (separately in Statics and Dynamics) in Engineering Mechanics. The book is comprehensive enough to serve as a reference for practising engineers and for those preparing for competitive examinations.

Audience of the Book :
