Course Objectives
Specific goal of this course is to equip the students in different branches of engineering with basic concepts of statics and strength of materials.
Mechanics is the study of forces that act on bodies and the resultant motion that those bodies experience. With roots in physics and mathematics, Engineering Mechanics (including mechanics of solids and mechanics of fluids) is the basis of all mechanical sciences including but not limited to Civil Engineering, Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Geological Engineering, Mining Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering.
Engineering Mechanics provides the "building blocks" of statics, dynamics, strength of materials, and fluid dynamics. Engineering mechanics is the the discipline devoted to the solution of mechanics problems through the integrated application of mathematical, scientific, and engineering principles. Special emphasis is placed on the physical principles underlying modern engineering design.
Course Content
Principles of mechanics. Elements of statics in two dimensions. Centroids and moments of inertia. Analysis of simple plane structures. Internal force diagrams. Concepts of stress and strain. Axially loaded members. Torsion. Laterally loaded members.
Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course, the students are expected to gain the ability:
- to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
- to function in multidisciplinary teams
- to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- to understand professional and ethical responsibility
- to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
