Applied Mechanics is considered as the backbone of all engineering programmes. It deals with the basic concepts of force,
bending moment and its effects
on the bodies at rest or in motion. It helps to understand how
different bodies behave under the
application of different types of loads.
Mechanics can be broadly divided into two branches; Statics and
Dynamics. Statics deals with the bodies at rest whereas dynamics
involves studies related to bodies in motion. It can also be divided
as mechanics of rigid bodies and mechanics of deformable bodies.
Good knowledge of
material properties is also essential for studying
mechanics of deformable bodies.
Applied mechanics provides the basis for further studies in
Structural Analysis which are required for
structural
design of different components of buildings or bridges.
