This note explores the
nature of rocks and rock masses as construction, foundation, or
engineering materials. Topics covered include: Physical properties of
intact rocks, stresses and strains, thermal, hydraulic and mechanical
properties of rocks and rock masses, applications of theory of
elasticity in rock mechanics, visco-elasticity, rock discontinuities,
hemispherical projection methods, in situ stresses and stress
measurements, rock slope engineering and underground excavations in
rock.
The topics explained in this pdf include:: Kinematics, Newtonian
Mechanics for single particles, Work and Energy, System of many particles,
Lagrangian mechanics - first approach, Lagrangian mechanics from Hamilton’s
principle, Elements of Hamiltonian mechanics, Central force motion and
two-body problem, Harmonic oscillator, Coupled oscillations, Non-inertial
reference frames, Motion of rigid bodies.
This lecture note helps students to develop the ability to work comfortably with basic engineering
mechanics concepts Required for analyzing static structures. Topics covered includes: friction And
Basics Structural Analysis, Centroid And Centre Of Gravity And Virtual Work And Energy Method, Particle Dynamics And Introduction To
Kinetics, Mechanical Vibrations.

This note provides an introduction to the mechanics of
materials and structures. You will be introduced to and become familiar
with all relevant physical properties and fundamental laws governing the
behavior of materials and structures and you will learn how to solve a
variety of problems of interest to civil and environmental engineers.
Topics covered includes: Galileo's problem, Dimensional analysis and
atomic explosion, Newton's laws of motion, Continuum model, Beam stress
model, Beam deformation, Beam elasticity and Fracture mechanics.
