Course Information
Catalog Course Description
The course covers the following topics; statics of particles: forces in plane, forces in space, equilibrium, moment of a force, moment of a couple, equivalent systems of forces on rigid bodies, equilibrium in two dimensions, equilibrium in three dimensions, distributed forces: centroids and center of gravity, analysis of structures: trusses, frames and machines, internal forces in beams and cables, friction, moments of inertia of areas, moments of inertia of masses
Course Learning Outcomes:
| 1. | Use vector algebra in calculation of forces and moments |
|---|---|
| 2. | Apply equilibrium equations in the solution of 2- and 3-dimensional concurrent or non-concurrent force systems. |
| 3. | Solve for unknown forces and moments using both the scalar and vector methods. |
| 4. | Develop appropriate free-body diagrams and to use them in solution of statics problems. |
| 5. | Formulate and solve the equilibrium equations for rigid bodies made up of multiple members. |
| 6. | Calculate the geometric and mass properties of interest in solid mechanics. |
