This undergraduate textbook on engineering mechanics has been developed in the spirit of modern continuum mechanics, as the classical model is physically valid only for systems of finite size. The logical sequence of kinematics, axioms, dynamics and statics has been followed, and statics treated as a special case of dynamics. Concepts are rigorously defined for the general case, prior to presenting their specific forms for particular cases. This approach helps in developing abstract thinking and avoiding ambiguities. A large number of examples that mimic real-life engineering systems have been included to illustrate the underlying principles and to develop a systematic approach to solving problems.Salient features: Follows the approach of the general to the particular to avoid misconceptions arising from dealing with particular cases first
