- Description:
-
The principal objective of the course is to familiarize students with basic principles of mechanics such as equilibrium and equivalency applied to statically determined structures
- Contents:
-
1. Concurrent forces - definition of force, basic theorems and axioms, equilibrium, equivalency
2. Concurrent forces - resultants by rectangular components
3. Statics of particles - free-body diagrams, equilibrium of rigid particles
4. General system of forces - resultant forces and resultant moments, cross product, scalar product
5. General system of forces - resolution of forces to a force and a couple
6. Parallel system of forces in two and three dimensions
7. Statics of rigid bodies - idealization of two and three-dimensional supports and connections
8. Statics of rigid bodies - equilibrium in two and three dimensions
9. Statics of rigid bodies - reaction forces of simple and compound statically determined structures
10. Statics of rigid bodies - reaction forces applying principle of virtual displacements and rotations
11. Analysis of trusses - definition, classification, zero force members
12. Analysis of trusses - application of the method of joints
13. Analysis of trusses - application of the method of sections
