Introduction
As one of the premier teaching, research and consulting organizations, Indian Institute of Technology
Delhi needs little introduction. It has established itself as a world-class teaching and research institute.
The institute also carries out expansion work on a large scale in the form of consulting, training
programmes, and sponsored research for the industry. The alumni of the institute hold top technical and
management positions in reputed Indian and multinational companies. This has come about because IIT
Delhi provides an ideal setting conductive to learning engineering and technology.

About The Department

The Department of Applied Mechanics at IIT Delhi is an engineering department involved in teaching,
research and industrial consultancy in the basic/fundamental areas of Engineering Mechanics and Product
Design. The main focus is to disseminate the fundamental principles of Solid and Fluid Mechanics and
implement these fundamental concepts to tackle real-life problems by using analytical, computational and
experimental methods. The department follows these principles and methods in teaching and in research
areas such as constitutive modelling, impact mechanics, nonlinear mechanics, nano-mechanics, bio-
mechanics, off-shore structures, internal and external flows including laminar and turbulent flows, industrial
aerodynamics, compressible aerodynamics. Over the last five decades, specialized laboratories have been
developed to a high degree of sophistication especially in the broad areas of Solid Mechanics, Fluid
Mechanics and Computation. Solid Mechanics Laboratories include state of the art facilities such as DIC
system with high speed/high resolution Cameras, Gas Gun, Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar, Structural Health
Monitoring System, CT Scanner, Atomic Force Microscope, Biaxial Testing Machine, Universal Testing
Machines up to 100 Tons capacity, Material Testing System (2.5 and 25 Tons). Fluid Mechanics
Laboratories are equipped with the latest flow diagnostic tools (PIV, LDV, PTV) besides various wind
tunnels of different test sections. The largest wind tunnel has a test section of 1.5 m x 1.5 m x 9.75 m and is
closed circuit tunnel. An environmental wind tunnel of 1.83 m x 1.83 m x 9.14 m with provision to simulate
the atmospheric boundary layer is also available. Besides these facilities, a pilot plant exists for solid liquid
flow and large water facility for doing research in instrumentation. Three computational laboratories having
a reasonable number of networked workstations and an extensive array of software for engineering analysis
and design have been set up for the students and faculty to facilitate the sharing of resources. A well-
equipped workshop is used to fabricate specimens, products and experimental set-ups for research projects
and graduate/undergraduate experiments. The department runs two post-graduate programmes namely M.
Tech. (Engineering Analysis and Design) and D.I.I.T. (Naval Construction). The M. Tech. course covers the
wide spectrum of courses in Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics and Product Design where as in the DIIT
course which is offered to freshly recruited Naval Officers, covers broad areas of Engineering Mechanics
and Warship Design. This course is jointly run by Applied Mechanics faculty and Naval officers as adjunct
faculty. The PhD programme of the department offers research opportunities in the above areas.

The department offers several B. Tech. level courses in the areas of Engineering Mechanics, Computational
Mechanics and Experimental Methods to undergraduate students of different engineering disciplines. In
some of these courses, students are exposed to a vast variety of basic and advanced experiments. It has been
consistently observed that a good fraction of these students get motivated to further pursue PG level
Engineering Mechanics courses. These students ultimately end up doing B. Tech. Project with the faculty
members of Applied Mechanics Department or Minor degree in Computational Mechanics.

The Proposed Programme

The Department of Applied Mechanics was set up in IIT Delhi in the early sixties to teach the fundamental
courses in Engineering Mechanics across the Departments and to carry out research in the same area. Over
the last few decades, vast knowledge hasaccumulated in the field of Engineering Mechanics and its
application in engineering system design has created new areas of research. Further, in the last two decades,
there has been a major shift towards interdisciplinary research which has given rise to several new avenues
related to Engineering Mechanics (Biomechanics, Nano Mechanics, Multi-scale modellingetc). Hence, there
is a strong need for an undergraduate program which can cater to these emerging areas.

Over the years most of the undergraduate engineering programmes have become broad-based and have
not been able to address the emerging interdisplinary areas. This is a lacuna we wish to address in this
programme. The emphasis will be on providing a strong grounding in the fundamentals of engineering
mechanics along with the tools to address the needs of emerging areas such as biomechanics,
nanomechanics, constitutive modeling at multiple length and time scales, parallel processing, machine
learning, artificial intelligence in mechanics etc. The primary goal will be to cultivate in the young
minds the art and science of Engineering Mechanics to analyze complex interdisciplinary phenomena
relevant to problems in industry and cutting edge research through experimentation, analysis and
computation. A strong grounding in engineering fundamentals will enable students to appreciate
emerging trends and equip them with the tools to spearhead new areas of research.
A major focus of the program would be on exposing students to recent trends in computational
techniques such as the use of parallel processing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, multi-scale
modelling computational approach etc. A preliminary interaction with industry has given high
employability prospect of such students after graduation. It is also hoped that such students would be
more motivated to take up higher education and ultimately serve to improve the PG teaching and
research in the country. Given the expertise of the current faculty the department of Applied Mechanics
is well equipped to offer the undergraduate programme effectively. The department faculty teach several
B.Tech level courses to undergraduate students of Mechanical, Civil and Textile engineering at IIT
Delhi. It has been consistently observed that a good fraction of these students get highly motivated to
pursue PG level mechanics courses. It appears that the students are able to relate the mechanics teaching
at IIT with their mechanics education in school. They ultimately end up doing B.Tech project or Minor
degree in Computational Mechanics or switch over to our Masters program. It is with this response that
the department also feels starting of a B.Tech programme would be a successful endeavor and could
potentially help in improved quality of intake students at both Masters and PhD level and further lead to
better recognition of our teaching and research programme internationally.

Unique Features of the Programme

i) Focus on basic as well as the emerging areas of mechanics such as bio-mechanics, nano-
mechanics, multi-scale and multi-physics modelling.
ii) Exposing students to recent trends in computational techniques (FEM, CFD, parallel processing),
high performance computing, machine learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI) etc.
iii) Exposing students to fundamental and latest techniques in experiments and its importance for
model validation.

Objective of the Programme

Cultivate young minds to analyse complex interdisciplinary phenomena and venture into cutting edge
research through experimentation, analysis and computation.

Annual Intake
40 students through JEE Advanced

Degree on Offer

Programme Requirements
The student will be required to register for 154 credits (graded) and 11 non graded credits during the 4
years of the programme. (One semester course has 1 credit associated with it for each hour of lecture,
each hour of tutorial or every two hours of practical work per week).

Under the non-graded units, 3 units are set out for design/ practical experience, these units by students of
this programme will be earned by doing internship after 2nd year and 3rd year during summer vacation.
Internship after 3rd year will be mandatory. Students doing internship after 2nd and 3rd year will earn 3
units if he spends 50 days each summer

Following is the classified list of core (or compulsory) and elective courses of the programme. The
lecture, tutorial and practical (L-T-P) hours per week and the credits corresponding to each course are
also given.
