Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Statics:- Basic Concepts (Particle, Rigid Body), Dimensional Analysis, Newtons Laws, 2-D and 3-D Force Systems (Rectangular Components, Moment, Couple and Resultants), 2-D and 3-D Equilibrium (System Isolation, Free-Body Diagram and Equilibrium Conditions), Structures (Plane Trusses, Method of Joints, Method of Sections, Frames and Machines), Center of Mass, Centroids, Area Moments and Mass Moments of Inertia, Theorems of Pappus, External Loads on Beams, Internal Beam Effects, Friction and Applications (Wedges, Screws, Journal and Thrust Bearings, Flexible Belts, Rolling Resistance) and Virtual Work (Work, Equilibrium, Potential Energy and Stability). Particle Dynamics:- Plane Kinematics (Rectilinear, Relative and Plane Curvilinear Motions), Coordinates (Rectangular, Normal and Tangential, and Polar), Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion, Forces in Rectilinear and Curvilinear Motion, Work, Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Impulse, Momentum, Impact and Central-Force Motion. Plane Rigid-Body Dynamics:- Kinematics (Rigid-Body Assumption, Rotation, Absolute Motion, Relative Velocity, Instantaneous Center of Zero Velocity), General Equations of Motion, Translation, Fixed Axis Rotation, General Plane Motion, Work-Energy Relations and Impulse-Momentum Equations. Mechanical Vibrations:- Free and Forced Vibration of Particles.
