Engineering Mechanics
It is the branch of Engineering Science which deals with the principles of mechanics along with their applications to the field problems.
Engineering Mechanics can be divided into its sub-groups as below
Engineering Mechanics
- Statics
- Dynamics
- Kinematics Kinetics
Statics deals with forces in terms of their distribution and effect on a body at absolute or relative rest.
Dynamics deals with the study of bodies in motion. Dynamics is further divided into kinematics and kinetics. Kinematics is concerned with the bodies in motion without taking into account the forces which are responsible for the motion.
kinematics deals with the bodies in motion and its causes.
Force System : A force system may be coplanar/non-coplanar.
In a coplanar force system, all the forces act in the same plane.
In a non-coplanar force system, all the forces act in different planar.
