  1. Introduction Lecture Prepared by Prof. Ahmed Abdel Mutal E-mail: ahmed.mutal@pua.edu.eg

  2. Course code: BE111Course title: Engineering Mechanics (1) • Lecture: Group A; E127– Tuesday- from 9:30 to 12:30 • Tutorials • Lecture: Group B; E127– Sunday 10:30 to 1:30 • Tutorials

  4. Engineering Mechanics The  Engineering Mechanics is divided into two branches: Staticsand Dynamics. Statics includes the following topics: resultant of force system; equilibrium of force system; cables; friction; trusses; frames; centroid; center of gravity; and moment of inertia. Dynamics will cover the following topics: kinematics, dynamics, kinetics, work-energy equation, impulse and momentum, and mechanical vibrations. The content of my online reviewer on the site of our University will be updated in regular basis. I will do my best to make this online reviewer as complete as possible. We will start in this semester with Engineering Mechanics (1),that is STATICS

  5. Course Aim: 1-Statics is the study of methods for quantifying the forces between bodies. Forces are responsible for maintaining balance and causing motion of bodies, or changes in their shape. You encounter a great number and variety of examples of forces every day, such as when you press a button, turn a doorknob, or run your hands through your hair. Motion and changes in shape are critical to the functionality of man-made objects as well as objects the nature. 2-Statics is an essential prerequisite for many branches of engineering, such as mechanical, civil, aeronautical, and bioengineering, which address the various consequences of forces. 3-This course contains many interactive elements, including: simulations; that integrate voice and graphics to explain a procedure or a difficult concept; and, most prominently, computer tutors in which students practice problem solving with hints and feedback. 4-This course uses algebra and trigonometry and is suitable for use with either calculus- or non-calculus-based academic statics courses. Completion of a beginning physics course is helpful for success in statics, but not required. Many key physics concepts are included in this course. Intended Learning outcomes: A- Knowledge and understanding: • a1- Understanding the algebra of the force vectors. • a2- Knowledge of different types of force systems in two and three dimensions. • a3- Understanding the techniques of reduction of force system at a point to a single force, a couple or both in two and three dimensions. • a4- Knowledge of the concept of supports as a mean to create reactions which equilibrate the external forces acting on a particle or a rigid body and the concept of Free body diagram containing the external forces and reactions of the supports. • a5- Understanding the Equilibrium equations of a particle and a rigid body and their applications to analyze the engineering applications. • a6- Understanding the techniques of analyzing of ideal system( without friction forces) of particles and system of rigid bodes with focus on structural systems (trusses & frames). • a7- Knowledge of the concept of Friction force and its application to the engineering models containing friction forces as in simple machines and the problems of tipping and slipping (Actual engineering systems).

  6. b- Intellectual skills b1- Analyzing Force systems. b2- Analyzing the equilibrium of ideal and actual structural systems. b3- Analyzing the equilibrium of three-dimensional structural systems. b4- Abstraction from a real world situation to a mathematical description. c- Professional and practical skills c1- Mathematical modeling of equilibrated ideal or actual structural systems. c2- Interpretation and communication of mathematical results and their implications in real world terms. d- General and transferable skills • d1- Techniques of analyzing force systems and the equilibrium of structural systems. • d2- Techniques of selection and use of a simple mechanical model to describe a real world situation. d3-Developing both Communication and Management skills. d4- Developing engineers capability to use of general information technology, d5- work as a team and work independently

  7. Teaching and learning methods A-Lectures 1- Blackboard presentations. 2- Power Point Presentations B-Tutorials 1- Blackboard presentations 2- Discussing and Solving Problems with advices whenever needed from assistants. 3- presentations. C-Students activities 1- To revise Internet presentations on the university site. 2- Doing the Home works required weekly including solutions of the sheets, take home exams, or Assessments. Notes: 1- Late supply of any requirement is not considered 2- Assistants can help you in solving problems but not to repeat the Lectures you had not attended. 3- Attendance will be recorded weekly during lectures and tutorials.
