Engineering Statics

Catalog description

3 Lecture Hour(s) 0 Lab Hour(s) This course introduces the fundamental principles and applications of engineering mechanics with a focus on statically determinate systems. Key topics include basic forces, vector representation, free body diagrams, equilibrium of rigid bodies, truss and frame analysis, internal forces in structural members, friction, centroids, center of gravity, moments of inertia for composite bodies, and the principle of virtual work. Students will develop analytical skills to solve problems involving forces and equilibrium in various mechanical systems.
