Course Learning Goals
Students will:
- evaluate the theory behind and the applications of the analysis of applied engineering statics;
- analyze concurrent forces, the statics of particles, and equivalent force/moment systems of rigid bodies;
- evaluate centroids and center of gravity; and
- apply the theory learned to the analysis of trusses, frames, and machines.
-
Planned Sequence of Topics and/or Learning Activities
The following topics are presented:
- general principles
- concurrent and non-concurrent force systems
- statics of particles
- rigid bodies: equivalent force/moment systems
- distributed forces: centroids and center of gravity
- equilibrium of rigid bodies
- trusses, frames, and machines
- conservative and non-conservative force analysis
