Engineering Mechanics

Engineering Mechanics is a core subject that deals with forces, moments, and motion. It focuses on analyzing static and dynamic systems through concepts like equilibrium, friction, centroids, and moment of inertia. The course aims to develop students' abilities in areas like modeling problems using free-body diagrams, solving for unknown forces, and applying principles of work, energy, and momentum to mechanical systems. After completing the course, students will be able to analyze force systems, understand static and kinetic friction, calculate centroids and moments of inertia, and apply energy methods and dynamics concepts like impulse and momentum.

I. COURSE OVERVIEW:
Engineering Mechanics is a branch of Physics that deals with the study of the system of forces acting on a
particle which is at rest or in motion. The course emphasizes thorough understanding of theories and principles
related to static and dynamic equilibrium of rigid bodies to acquire the analytical capability required for
solving engineering problems and are one of the foundation courses that form the basis of many of the
traditional branches of engineering such as aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering.

II. OBJECTIVES:
The course should enable the students to:
I Students should develop the ability to work comfortably with basic engineering mechanics concepts
required for analyzing static structures.
II Identify an appropriate structural system to studying a given problem and isolate it from its
environment, model the problem using good free-body diagrams andaccurate equilibrium equations.
III Understand the meaning of centre of gravity (mass)/ centroid and moment of Inertia using integration
methods and method of moments.
IV To solve the problem of equilibrium by using the principle of work and energy, impulse momentum
and vibrations for preparing the students for higher level courses such as Mechanics of Solids,
Mechanics of Fluids, Mechanical Design andStructural Analysis etc .

III. COURSE OUTCOMES:


After successful completion of the course, students should be able to:
CO 1 Deduce the unknown forces by free body diagrams to a given equilibrium force Analyze
system through mechanics laws and derived laws.
CO 2 Interpret the static and dynamic friction laws for the equilibrium state of a Understand
wedge, ladder and screw jack.
CO 3 Identify the centroid and centre of gravity for the simple and composite plane Apply
sections from the first principles.
CO 4 Calculate moment of inertia and mass moment of inertia of a circular plate, Apply
cylinder, cone and sphere from the first principles.
CO 5 Apply D’Alembert’s principle to a dynamic equilibrium system by introducing Apply
the inertia force for knowing the acceleration and forcesinvolved in the system.
CO 6 Determine the governing equation for momentum and vibration phenomenon of Apply
mechanical system by using energy principles for obtaining co efficient and circular
frequency.
