Engineering Mechanics is the study of the principles of mechanics and their application to engineering problems. It is concerned with the behavior of objects under various types of loading, and the effects of these loads on the objects.
What are the different branches of Engineering Mechanics?
The different branches of Engineering Mechanics are:
- Statics: The branch of Engineering Mechanics that deals with the analysis of objects in static equilibrium.
- Dynamics: The branch of Engineering Mechanics that deals with the analysis of objects in dynamic equilibrium.
- Strength of Materials: The branch of Engineering Mechanics that deals with the strength and stiffness of materials.
- Fluid Mechanics: The branch of Engineering Mechanics that deals with the behavior of fluids.
- Thermodynamics: The branch of Engineering Mechanics that deals with the relationship between heat and work.
