Engineering Mechanics

Engineering Mechanics

Engineering Mechanics provides us the foundation and framework to visualize, model and solve complex Engineering problems. It is primarily offered in 1st or 2nd year Engineering courses around the world. Many topics of Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace Engineering etc. are based on sound frameworks provided by Engineering Mechanics.  Also, Engineering Mechanics inculcates problem solving abilities in students and forces them to think and analyze. That being said, the importance of this course cannot be emphasized more.

Here is the basic course structure:

1. Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies.

2. Friction.

3. Analysis of Trusses.

4. Centre of Gravity and Moment of Inertia.

5. Virtual Work.

6. Dynamics

I have spent a lot of time and effort explaining Section 1 owing to its importance. Students should spend a lot of time in this section too. Please don't move forward unless you feel comfortable with section 1. I have designed this course so that the concepts feel motivated from the previous concept. Students will understand how each topic relates with the other. I have emphasized on how modeling the problem correctly is more important than solving it. I have tried to tell a story via each theory lecture and subsequent plethora of numericals. I hope students understand and get the essence of Engineering Mechanics via this course.

Happy Learning :-)
