1. Abstract: Mechanics is one of the oldest branch of physics. Apart from being important to various other fields of engineering, it lays the foundations for almost all the important subjects in mechanical and civil engineering like machine design, theory of machines, structural analysis, stress analysis, vibrations and fluid and solid mechanics. Hence, this is a fundamental course which is offered to the undergraduate students in mechanical as well as civil engineering. The subject matter of this course would be limited to the statics, kinematics and kinetics of a point mass and rigid bodies only. 2. Objectives: To quote Gross et al. “the tasks of mechanics include the description and determination of the motion of bodies, as well as the investigation of the forces associated with the motion”. Keeping this task in mind, the main objective of the course is to introduce the basic principles of mechanics to analyze the motion and associated forces in the problems of practical significance. In particular the objectives of this course are

to introduce different systems of forces and methods of their analysis

to introduce and investigate the problem of equilibrium in two & three dimensions

to introduce laws of friction and it’s applications to mechanical components like wedge, belt-pulley, brakes etc.

to familiarize students with the concepts of work, conservative forces, potential energy and principle of virtual work

to introduce energy and momentum methods for solving dynamic problems related to point mass and rigid bodies.

1. Abstract:

A course on the theory of mechanisms and machines is one of the fundamental courses

offered to the undergraduate students in mechanical engineering. Machine design is an

important activity while doing engineering analysis for solving the real life problems.

Keeping this requirement in mind, this course is designed to include kinematic & dynamic

analysis and synthesis of mechanisms. Both lower- and higher-pair mechanisms

would be discussed. As this is the first course on the theory of mechanisms and machines the

subject matter would be limited to planar mechanisms only. The dynamic force and motion

analysis of slider-crank mechanism and the balancing of inertia forces and moments in

machines would be discussed in detail. Apart from that, in the form of the governors, the

students would be introduced to one of the simplest examples of mechanical feedback control

system.

2. Objectives:

As the authors of one of the text books (Theory of Mechanisms and Machines by Prof. Ghosh

& Prof. Mallik) of this course put it “the major objectives of the subject theory of

mechanism and machine are to provide the engineers the necessary tools to

systematically synthesize a system which means scientifically arriving at the critical shapes

and dimensions of the bodies constituting the system.” In particular the objectives of the

course are

to introduce the important concepts like kinematic pairs, degrees of freedom,

kinematic chains, kinematic inversions etc.;

to introduce analytical and graphical methods for kinematic analysis of planar

mechanisms;

to introduce various problems related to the dimensional synthesis of the

linkages;

to introduce fundamentals of Cams and different types of Gears and

Gear Trains;

to introduce one of the simplest form of mechanical feedback systems in the

form of governors.

Course Name: Heat and Mass Transfer

Instructor: Monoj Bardalai

1. Abstract:

The course is basically an integral part of thermal engineering which is very essential for

mechanical, aerospace, nuclear, automobile and chemical engineering students in the

undergraduate level. Starting from the everyday life to any fields of engineering processes or

in any machinery, heat transfer operation is observed. Along with heat transfer, in many

phenomenon the mass transfer is also involved. So, the course covers the various modes of

heat transfer, characteristics of different heat transfer modes as well as the related mass

transfer problems with practical point of view. The heat transfer principle follows the 1st and

2nd law of thermodynamics as well as some other laws like Fick’s law related to mass transfer

problem. Since the heat transfer or heat energy interaction which is a transit form of energy

between two bodies or surfaces or fluids due to the difference of temperature and at the same

time the mass transfer due to the concentration gradient is a very important parameter, so the

engineers must have a good knowledge about it before going to design or deal any

machineries or phenomena where heat and mass transfer is observed.

2. Objective: The course tries to fulfil the following objectives-

1. To have a sound knowledge about the various modes and mechanisms of heat and

mass transfer in theoretical and practical situations.

2. To have the clear concept of both theoretical and numerical basis of various heat and

mass transfer problems.

3. To make learner able to design and model various parts, machineries dealing with

heat and mass transfer.

4. To make one’s foundation to do some research work based on the heat and mass

transfer related problems.

Knowledge of basic thermodynamics (ME 211) and Engineering Mathematics is

essential for this course.

1. Abstract: This course is one of the important core courses for Mechanical Engineering

student. Drawing is the universal language of engineers for communication and

documentation of engineering design. The subject “Machine Drawing” is related to

visualization of objects from pictorial view. This subject mainly concerned to draw the

orthographic view from pictorial view and vice-versa. It is difficult to visualize a three-

dimensional (3D) object from its orthographic view. Therefore, in the first step, to get a clear

concept about the 3D object, the orthographic view will be drawn from pictorial view of the

3D object and vice-versa. In the second step, after assembly of different machine parts, the

Course Name: Mechanics of Composite Materials

Instructor: Sushen Kirtania, Asst. Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering,


1. Abstract: In the last two-three decades, there have been intense needs for new materials

with desired properties like strength, stiffness, toughness, high wear resistance, reduced

weight, high fatigue life, thermal insulation, conductivity etc. All the desired properties are

difficult to find in a single material. Many of the above properties could be achieved in

composites materials. Composite materials are made by combining two or more materials but

within the composite materials the constituting materials retain their parent properties. The

most important characteristics of composite materials are that their properties can be tailored

i.e. one can design the required properties. The biggest advantage of modern composite

materials is that they are light as well as strong. Although the resulting product is more

efficient but raw materials are often expensive. Therefore, scientist and researchers are giving

special attention towards the development of cheaper advanced composite materials.

2. Objective: The main objectives of this course are -

to understand the importance of composites materials.

to be familiar with the properties and characteristics of composite materials.

to acquire the concept of tailored design philosophy.

to acquire knowledge on the role of interface between fiber and the matrix.
