Publisher's Synopsis
The study of mechanics is also vital in analyzing and determining the stresses in structures such as bridges and trusses. By applying the principles of mechanics, engineers can evaluate the strength and stability of these structures, ensuring they can withstand the loads and forces they are subjected to. This knowledge is crucial for constructing safe and reliable infrastructure that can support the weight and movement of people and goods.To impart this essential knowledge to engineers and students, the book "Applied Mechanics Laboratory" has been meticulously prepared. It serves as a comprehensive guide, providing carefully designed experiments that adhere to standard procedures. The book aims to bridge the gap between fundamental scientific principles and their application in engineering fields. It covers various interdisciplinary areas, including Solid Mechanics, Mechanics of Materials, Nonlinear Dynamics, Multiphysics Interactions, Nuclear Engineering, Engineering Materials, Computational Mechanics, and Analytical and Applied Mathematics.Furthermore, the book offers an overview of fluid mechanics laboratory experiments and their practical applications. Fluid mechanics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the behavior of fluids (liquids and gases) and their interactions with solid structures. Understanding fluid mechanics is crucial for designing efficient transportation systems, optimizing energy production, and developing sustainable technologies.
