COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objective of the present course is to emphasize

the formulation and solution of problems in
engineering mechanics by appropriate mechanical
and mathematical models.
• The understanding and technical knowledge gathered in this

course will be directly required and applied in many future
courses, such as –
• Mechanics of Solid (L-2, T-2),

• Theory of Machines (L-3, T-1),
• Machine Design (L-3, T-1 & L-3, T-2)

Message to My Freshman Students

- K. M Parsons
 It is no part of my job to make you learn. At university,

learning is your job and yours alone. My job is to lead
you to the fountain of knowledge.
 You need to learn to listen.
 Critical listening questions and evaluates what is being

said and seeks key concepts.

My Alternative Message to My Freshman Students

- Andrew Robinson
 In a University class, much of your study has to be self-directed,

with the teacher giving guidance on what to do.
 Problem solving is the key to success.
 You must become a self-directed learner, rather than an

automaton.
 I will put full trust in you, as an adult, to work in class.
 My role is to help you grow intellectually, to master the subject.
I can show you the way, but you must make that
journey.

What is Mechanics?
Mechanics is the study of forces that act on bodies and the
resultant motion that those bodies experience.
 Mechanical interaction between bodies.
How different bodies apply forces on one another and how they
then balance to keep each other in equilibrium.
The first part of the course – STATICS.
Motion of particles and how does the motion of particles get

affected when a force is applied on them.
The second part of the course - DYNAMICS

Classification of Mechanics
1. Mechanics of Rigid Bodies:
- The bodies do not deform under the action of forces
 Statics
 Dynamics
2. Mechanics of Deformable Bodies:

- The bodies deform under the action of forces
3. Fluid Mechanics:
Incompressible and Compressible fluid

Rigid Bodies Deformable Bodies Fluids

Applications
With roots in physics and mathematics-
Engineering Mechanics is the basis of all the
mechanical sciences.
 Civil engineering, Materials science and

engineering, Mechanical engineering and
Aeronautical and Aerospace engineering
…….
To answer questions such as -

• Is the car’s suspension strong enough?
• Which material can we use for the

aircraft’s fuselage?
• Will the bridge carry more than 5 trucks at

the same time?

History of Mechanics
In the early stages of scientific development, Physics mainly consisted
of mechanics and astronomy.
