Mechanics is the study of forces that act on bodies and the resultant motion that those bodies experience. So, its one of the disciplines dedicated to provide solutions in mechanics through engineering principles (where physical principles are given special emphasis), together with scientific and mathematical applications. Engineering mechanics can be applied in areas such as aerospace, manufacturing, electronics, biotechnology, acoustics, automotive, to list but a few.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has defined the term as ‘the art and science of generating, transmitting and utilizing mechanical power; of the production of tools, machinery and their productions; including research, development, design, application, and the co‐ordination of materials, personnel and management’.
Engineering mechanics field is therefore concerned solely with the design and production of all purely mechanical contrivances; including all types of prime movers, vehicles and general engineering products. Here, you lean building blocks of statics, dynamics, strength of materials, and fluid dynamics.
