Introduction To Engineering Mechanics

AY2017/2018 Semester 2

The aim of this course is to provide fundamental knowledge for undergraduate students in statics, mechanics of materials and dynamics. It introduces the course participants to force vectors, force system resultants, equilibrium of a rigid body, structural analysis, centre of gravity, centroid and moment of inertia, stress and strain, mechanical properties of materials and bending. It also includes kinematics, general curvilinear motion, motion of a projectile, absolute dependent motion analysis of two particles, and relative motion analysis of two particles using translating axes.
