Practical Applications Of Engineering Mechanics

Introduction:

Practical application of engineering mechanics is referred as applied mechanics. The physical theory and its technical application play a vital role in mechanical engineering. Applied mechanics application principle and methods incorporate mathematical field, computational science and physical science. Engineering mechanics enables natural phenomena study of locomotion of animals, orbits of planets, blood circulation, and mountain formation. The other practical applications of engineering mechanics are automobiles, ships, refineries, engines, air planes, computers, medical science and railways. Applied mechanics helps in better understanding of civil engineering, nuclear engineering, computer science engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering and material science engineering. Major application of engineering mechanics in forensic engineering helps in typical analysis of traffic accident.

Engineering application:

Engineering mechanics applications are broadly classified as follows.

• Statics: Deals with non moving solid bodies with load
• Dynamics: Deals with forces affecting moving solid body
• Strength of materials: Mechanics of materials deals mainly about material deformation when subjected to various types of stresses
• Deformation mechanics: Deals with deformation which are in elastic range
• Fluid mechanics: Deals with fluid reaction when a force is applied. They are broadly classified in to two types’ namely fluid statics and fluid dynamics. It is subpart of continuum mechanics. Hydraulics is the engineering application of fluid mechanics.
• Continuum mechanics: Applying mechanics has major assumption of objects in continuous mode.
