DESCRIPTION
This course will guide students through statics for engineering, the branch of mechanics that analyzes the forces and torques of bodies in equilibrium. Statics defines quantities such as the moment of a force, the centroid, and moments of inertia that describe how structures and bodies can remain at rest or maintain a constant velocity.
In this course, students will learn about trusses, joints, frames, and machines. Students will understand the use of forces and moments and how these combine to achieve equilibrium. As a tool for engineering, statics will provide students with the methods to design structures capable of supporting and moving loads safely and effectively from beams to bridges.
The course includes two- and three-dimensional force systems, moments, equivalent systems; trusses, frames, machines; centroids, centers of mass, moments of inertia, friction, internal axial and shear forces, and engineering applications.
The course will also give you the opportunity to discuss and analyze complex and composite rigid systems, considering their inner structure and identifying the forces and moments required to maintain equilibrium. You will explore the challenges engineers encounter in designing ever more functional structures and machinery and how these designs introduce requirements and constraint on materials.
