ABOUT

The Engineering Mechanics (EM) lab is located on the first floor next to the CAD-CAM Lab of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, NIT Raipur. This laboratory gives the basic understanding of structural member under the action of loads. The students will experience the changes in behaviour of structure due to application of loads. Basics of determinate structures will be introduced through experiment. The main purpose of any structure is to support the loads coming on it by properly transferring them to the foundation. The students will be able to compute internal, external forces and displacements produced by the application of loads to make the structure safe. Detailed analysis is to be performed to determine the bending moments, shear force, axial forces etc at the required section. The laboratory is equipped with the following major equipment.
1. Single purchase winch crab
2. Double purchase winch crab
3. Simply supported beam.
4. Helical compression spring
5. Static friction machine
6. Bending moment apparatus
7. Law of polygon forces machine
8. Differential wheel and axle
9. Simple Jib crane
10. Belt and pulley apparatus
11. Simple/compound lever apparatus
12. Pulley block apparatus
13. Gear jib crane
