Mittelstedt C. Engineering Mechanics 1. Statics 2026

Textbook in PDF format

Statics is the first volume of a three-volume textbook on Engineering Mechanics. It is the intention of the authors to present to engineering students the basic concepts and principles of mechanics in the clearest and simplest form possible. An important objective of this book is to develop problem solving skills in a systematic manner. The straightforward and flexible approach of the text to the theory of mechanics makes it accessible to students from different disciplines and allows for different educational backgrounds. Another aim of this book is to provide engineering students as well as practising engineers with a solid foundation to help them bridge the gaps between undergraduate studies, advanced courses on mechanics and practical engineering problems
