nature of rocks and rock masses as construction, foundation, or
engineering materials. Topics covered include: Physical properties of
intact rocks, stresses and strains, thermal, hydraulic and mechanical
properties of rocks and rock masses, applications of theory of
elasticity in rock mechanics, visco-elasticity, rock discontinuities,
hemispherical projection methods, in situ stresses and stress
measurements, rock slope engineering and underground excavations in
rock.

This
note provides an introduction to the mechanics of solids with
applications to science and engineering. Itemphasize the three essential
features of all mechanics analyses, namely: (a) the geometry of the
motion and/or deformation of the structure, and conditions of geometric
fit, (b) the forces on and within structures and assemblages; and (c)
the physical aspects of the structural system which quantify relations
between the forces and motions/deformation.

This note provides an introduction to the mechanics of
materials and structures. You will be introduced to and become familiar
with all relevant physical properties and fundamental laws governing the
behavior of materials and structures and you will learn how to solve a
variety of problems of interest to civil and environmental engineers.
Topics covered includes: Galileo's problem, Dimensional analysis and
atomic explosion, Newton's laws of motion, Continuum model, Beam stress
model, Beam deformation, Beam elasticity and Fracture mechanics.

Mechanics
describes and predicts the conditions of rest or motion of bodies under the action of forces. Engineering
mechanics applies the principle of mechanics to design, taking into
account the effects of forces. This book covers the following topics:
Concurrent forces on a plane, Composition and Resolution of forces,
Method of moments, Friction, Ladder and rope friction, Principle of
virtual work, Rectilinear Translation, Principle of Dynamics,
D’Alembert’s Principle, Motion of a Projectile, Rotation of rigid body.
This
book covers the following topics: Fundamentals of Mechanics, Newton
Analyzed Planetary Motion, Systems of Particles, Conservation Laws,
Rigid Bodies, Constraints, Holonomic and Non-Holonomic Constraints,
Statically Indeterminate Structures.
This book is the result of the
experience of the writer in teaching the subject of Applied Mechanics at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is primarily a text-book ; and
hence the writer has endeavored to present the different subjects in such a
way as seemed to him best for the progress of the class, even though it be
at some sacrifice of a logical order of topics.
This book, as its
name suggests, presents those principles of mechanics that are believed
to be essential for the student of engineering.All the
information is there, and is told simple yet completely.
This
note covers the following topics: Matrix Algebra and Indicial Notation, Vectors and Linear Transformations,
Components of Tensors. Cartesian Tensors, Symmetry: Groups of Linear
Transformations, Calculus of Vector and Tensor Fields, Orthogonal Curvilinear
Coordinates, Calculus of Variations.
