Statics of Rigid Bodies and Structures

Catalog description

This course covers major topics in statics such as addition and resolution of forces, and developing equivalent systems of forces. It includes analysis and calculations related to concentrated and distributed forces, centroids, and rigid-body equilibrium analysis under forces. The course also includes calculations related to one-dimensional cables and bars under axial loads. It covers topics of statical determinacy, stress, strain, and elastic behavior, and numerical analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate trusses. C-ID ENGR 130.
