Engineering Mechanics is a special type of applied mechanics which has its foundations in structural mechanics, experimental mechanics, soil mechanics, engineering materials, engineering analysis, vibrations, rheology, and dynamics. It demonstrates the important ideas and concepts like Newton’s views, angular momentum, linear momentum, degree of freedom, motion and acceleration, impact of kinematics, harmonic vibrations, potential energy, kinetic energy, inertia, mass, numerical simulation, principles of mechanics, rotation, work-energy, rigid bodies, velocity and Eigen-frequency through mostly models, laws and theories and only some through hypotheses and presumptions. It also suffices matter on computational mechanics, continuum mechanics, contact mechanics, fluid mechanics, finite element methods, stress waves, elasticity, visco-elasticity and mechanics of materials and structures. Since it envisions a wide array of elements, the subject is divided into parts that are covered through segmented modules. The concepts find support in mathematical theorems and the subject discourse is given with hands-on training. It also delivers information on technological applications.
