Mechanics, and in particular, the mechanics of solids, forms the
basis of all engi neering sciences. It provides the essential
foundations for understanding the action of forces on bodies, and
the effects of these forces on the straining of the body on the one
hand, and on the deformation and motion of the body on the other.
Thus, it provides the solutions of many problems with which the
would-be engineer is going to be confronted with on a daily basis.
In addition, in engineering studies, mechanics has a more vital
importance, which many students appreciate only much later. Because
of its clear, and analyt ical setup, it aids the student to a great
extent in acquiring the necessary degree of abstraction ability,
and logical thinking, skills without which no engineer in the
practice today would succeed. Many graduates have confirmed to me
that learning mechanics is generally per ceived as difficult. On
the other hand, they always also declared that the preoccu pation
with mechanics made an essential contribution to their successful
education. Besides, as far as my experience goes, this success does
not depend very much on the inclusion of special chapters, or the
knowledge of particular formulae. Rather, it is important that to a
sufficient degree, one has learned how to logically describe a
given physical phenomenon, starting from the preconditions. And
that from this description one can derive rules for related
phenomena, and also rules for layout design, for dimensioning, etc.
similarly supported structures."
