This didactically excellent introduction to the fundamentals of statics, strength of materials, as well as kinematics and kinetics goes beyond mere knowledge transfer. Since its first edition, this continuously updated work, highly valued by students, provides a comprehensive understanding of the relationships and physical processes in technical mechanics. Numerous problem sets in the field of mechanical engineering are thoroughly explained in terms of their processing and solutions. In addition to determining the results, the authors place particular emphasis on their interpretation and understanding. This is especially important for aspiring engineers, as it allows them to develop an intuition for the effects of forces on components beyond just the formulaic statics. The necessary practice is provided to the reader through the exercises.
