- Engineering Mechanics: Statics

Catalog description

Statics is the study of particles and rigid bodies in equilibrium, meaning they have no unbalanced forces or torques acting on them. This course covers force and moment vectors, distributed loads, centroids, moments of inertia, friction, virtual work, particle equilibrium, and rigid body equilibrium in two and three dimensions. These concepts are applied toward the analysis of trusses, frames, machines, and beams.
