Engineering Mechanics

This course provides a foundational understanding of statics and strength of materials, two essential pillars of engineering mechanics that underpin the analysis and design of structures and mechanical systems. The course lies prepares the students to comprehend and predict the behavior of physical systems subjected to forces, ensuring the safety, functionality, and efficiency of engineering designs. The focus begins with the principles of statics, covering the equilibrium of rigid bodies subjected to coplanar and non-coplanar force systems. Emphasis is placed on practical engineering applications, including the structural analysis of trusses, frames, beams, and cables. The course then transitions to the strength of materials, examining how materials respond to various loading conditions through the concepts of stress, strain, axial loading, torsion, bending, and shear. Students explore how these mechanical responses influence material selection and structural integrity. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze static force systems and evaluate material behavior under load, laying a critical foundation for advanced studies in structural, mechanical, and civil engineering. They will also be equipped to apply these concepts to real-world design problems, demonstrating competence in both analytical reasoning and structural assessment.
