Prerequisite: Nil
Syllabus:
Equivalent Force
Systems: concentrated and distributed force systems, simplest resultant
(wrench), centre of pressure, centroid, and centre of gravity. Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies: free body
diagram, reactions, equations of equilibrium, static indeterminacy. Analysis of Structures: analysis of
trusses, method of joints and method of sections, analysis of frames and beams,
shear force and bending moment, axial force and twisting moment. Friction: concept of friction,
applications of friction to simple machines; rolling resistance. Virtual Work: principle of virtual work
and its application to machines. Moment
of Inertia: moments of inertia of simple and composite bodies, moments of
inertia under transformation of axes, principle axes and principle moments of
inertia, Mohr’s circle. Kinematics of
Particles and Rigid Bodies: rectilinear motion, curvilinear motion,
velocity and acceleration in cylindrical and path coordinate system, relative
and constrained motion, rate of change of a vector in a rotating frame,
three-dimensional motion of a particle relative to a rotating frame, rigid body
kinematics. Kinetics of Systems of
Particles and Rigid Bodies: linear and angular momentum of a system of
particles and a rigid body, kinetic energy of a system of particle and a rigid
body, linear and angular momentum principles, Euler equation of motion. Impact of Rigid Bodies: linear and
angular impulse, impulse-momentum principle, work-energy principle, central and
eccentric impacts.
