    DJJ3053 ENGINEERING MECHANICS

    CHAPTER 1:
    CONCEPTS OF ENGINEERING MECHANICS

    Prepared by;
    Mohd Khairi Haslamia Bin Mat Ripin
    Engineering Mechanics

    ENGINEERING MECHANICS focuses on theoretical knowledge in statics


    and dynamics. This course provides students with fundamental
    understanding of forces and equilibrium, resultants, equilibrium of a
    particles and structural analysis. This course also covers kinematics and
    kinetics of particles.

    Concepts of Mechanics
    MECHANICS - Body of knowledge which deals with the
    study and prediction of the state of rest or motion of
    particles and bodies under the action of forces.

    STATICS - Statics deals with the equilibrium of bodies, that


    is those that are either at rest or move with a constant
    velocity.

    4
    DYNAMICS - Dynamics is concerned with the accelerated
    motion of bodies

    SPACE – The geometric region occupied by bodies whose


    positions are described by linear and angular
    measurements relative to a coordinate system. For
    three-dimensional problems three independent
    coordinates are needed. For two-dimensional problems
    only two coordinates will be required.

    5
    PARTICLES – A particle has a mass, but a size that can be neglected. For
    example, the size of the earth is insignificant compared to the size of its orbits,
    and therefore the earth can be modeled as a particle when studying its orbital
    motion. When a body is idealized as a particle, the principles of mechanics
    reduces to a rather simplified form since the geometry of the body will not be
    involved in the analysis of the problem

    RIGID BODY – A rigid body can be considered as a combination of a large


    number of particles in which all the particles remain at a fixed distance from
    one another both before and after applying a load.

    FORCE – Force is considered as a ‘push’ or ‘pull’ exerted by one body on


    another. This interaction can occur when there is direct contact between the
    bodies, such as a person pushing on a wall, or it can occur through a distance
    when the bodies are physically separated.
    6
    KINEMATICS - is the study of the motion of bodies without
    consideration of the cause of the motion. Kinematics deals
    with the space-time relationship of the motion of a body.
    Some examples of kinematic concepts are displacement,
    velocity and acceleration.

    KINETICS - is the branch of mechanics which deals with the


    study of the motion of bodies by considering the cause of
    motion.

    Basic Quantities

    Quantities Unit Description


    Length Meter, m Length is used to locate the position of a point in space and
    thereby describe the size of a physical system.
    Time Second, s Time is conceived as a succession of events
    Mass Kilogram, kg Mass is a measure of a quantity of matter that is used to
    compare the action of one body with that of another
    Force Newton, N In general, force is considered as a “push” or “pull” exerted by
    one body on another.

    8
    Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
    First Law

    An object in motion
    will stay in motion,
    an object at rest will
    stay at rest,
    unless acted by an
    outside force.

    9
    Second Law

    A particle acted upon by an unbalanced force (F)


    experiences an acceleration a that has the same direction
    as the force and a magnitude that is directly proportional
    to the force.

    10
    Third Law
    For every action force,
    there is an equal and
    opposite reaction
    force.
