S1&2 - ENGINEERING MECHANICS

Module 1
Forces in Plane – Vector addition of concurrent forces in plane – problems involving the equilibrium of particles – free body diagrams.
Definition of rigid body – moment of a force about an axis – varignon’s theorem of moment – couple – properties of force couples – resolution of a given force in to force acting at a given point and a couple – reduction of a system of coplanar forces acting on a rigid body into a single force and a single couple – equilibrium of a rigid body under coplanar forces – types of supports – reaction at supports of beams and frames – graphical method.
Module 2
Centre of gravity, centroid of wires, areas, volumes – moment of inertia of lamina and radius of gyration – parallel axis theorem and its applications – mass moment of inertia of thin circular and rectangular plates – mass moment of inertia of solid rectangular prisms, cylinders and cones.
Friction-angle of friction and coefficient of friction – laws of dry friction-ladder friction – wedge friction.
Module 3
Simple trusses – analysis of trusses by methods of joints and sections – graphical- method. Simple stress and strain – bars of uniform cross section – shear stress – modulus of rigidity – bulk modulus – Poisson’s ratio – Relation between different modulii.
Module 4
Dynamics Kinematics (Velocity – acceleration) rectilinear motion of a particle under variable acceleration
Relative velocity – simple cases only. Circular motion with uniform acceleration – relation between angular and rectilinear motion – normal and tangential acceleration – motion of rotation and translation – instantaneous centre of zero velocity (elementary treatment only)
Module 5
Kinetics of particles – Newton’s Laws of motion of translation – work, energy and power – principles of momentum and impulse. Motion of rotation – couple – torque – Newtons laws of motion of rotation – differential equations of rotation – angular impulse and torque – conservation of angular momentum – work-done and power by torque and couple.
