美国R.C.Hibbeler。著Engineering Mechanics分为Statics分册和Dynarrtics分册(第10版),这套教材是典型的美式教材,它具有以下一些特点:基本概念、基本原理的叙述简明、准确、便于掌握, 强调理论应用,配有大量例题和习题,多来自实际问题,有利于应用理论解决实际问题能力的培养,关注学习方法的指导,详尽介绍各类问题的解决思路、方法、技巧,便于自学。

美国R.C.Hibbeler编著的EngineeringMechanics——statics与Dynamics是美国工科大学广泛选用的工程力学课程教材之一。自20世纪70年代至今近30年,该教材修订出版了10次,足见其受到美国工科大学师生欢迎的程度。我国于1983年4月由人民教育出版社出版了该教材第2版的中文译本。对比该教材的基本体系结构和内容并没有太大的改变,但在例题、习题和指导学生学习方面作了补充调整,可以看出这套教材是比较稳定的。
该套教材的《静力学》分册共11章,内容包括:基本原理、力矢量、原点的平衡、力系的简化、刚体的平衡、结构分析、内力、摩擦、**和形心、转动惯量、虚功;《动力学》分册共11章,内容包括:质点运动学、质点动力学一一力和加速度、质点动力学一一功和能、质点动力学一一冲量和动量、刚体的平面运动学、刚体的平面动力学一一力和加速度、刚体的平面动力学一一冲量和动量、刚体空间运动学、刚体空间动力学、振动。教材中带+的内容,用于满足较高要求的课程。这套教材是典型的美式教材,它具有以下一些特点:1.基本概念、基本原理的叙述简明、准确、便于掌握,在理论体系上不过分追求完整。
