Engineering Mechanics and Strength of Materials are fundamental subjects in Civil and mechanical engineering, dealing with the behavior of forces and materials under different conditions. These subjects are essential for understanding the stability, strength, and durability of structures.
My teaching methodology focuses on building a strong conceptual foundation, emphasizing real-world applications, and making complex topics easier to understand through step-by-step problem-solving techniques.

Key Topics Covered:

• Statics:

  • Force Systems (Concurrent, Non-Concurrent, and Parallel Forces)

  • Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies

  • Free-Body Diagrams and Support Reactions

  • Friction and Its Applications

• Kinematics & Dynamics:

  • Motion of Particles and Rigid Bodies

  • Newton’s Laws of Motion and Their Engineering Applications

  • Work, Energy, and Power Principles

  • Impulse and Momentum Analysis

• Structural Analysis Basics:

  • Center of Gravity and Centroid

  • Moment of Inertia for Different Shapes

  • Beams, Trusses, and Frames

  • Stress-Strain Analysis:

• Types of Stresses and Strains (Tensile, Compressive, Shear)

• Hooke’s Law and Elastic Constants

• Stress-Strain Diagrams for Various Materials

1. Beams and Bending:

   • Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams

   • Bending Stresses in Beams

   • Deflection of Beams

• Torsion and Columns:

  • Torsion in Circular Shafts

  • Buckling of Columns (Euler’s and Rankine’s Theories)

Outcome & Student Impact:

• Improved problem-solving skills and analytical thinking.

• Enhanced understanding of material behavior under different load conditions.

• Strong foundation for further studies in structural engineering and mechanical analysis.

• Increased confidence in applying concepts to real-world engineering problems.
