Overview
Theoretical mechanics is the basic science of many fields in engineering. This book covers the newtonian mechanics as this is what is used to design any kind of machine or building that is significantly larger than an atom and smaller than a planet.
There are several field of mechanics:
Theoretical Mechanics: studies the relation between forces acting on bodies and forces caused by bodies touching each other. It assumes that those bodies do not deform.
Solid Mechanics: studies the forces inside bodies and deformations.
Fluid Mechanics: Studies forces caused by and acting on fluids and their environment. Fluids are both liquids as gasses.
