STATICS FOR TECHNOLOGY

Catalog description

Principles of statics, conditions for equilibrium concepts and analysis of force systems acting on rigid bodies in two-dimensional applications and basic analysis of forces on members of trusses, frames, and machines are studied. Frictional forces in limiting equilibrium, applications of concurrent force systems in space (3D), centroid and moment of inertia of plain areas are covered. Laboratory required. (A special fee will be assessed.) (TAG)
