Statics and Mechanics Materials

Catalog description

A study of elementary, primarily two dimensional engineering mechanics. Fundamental concepts and basic laws of statics, force systems, structures, and support reactions for loading patterns. Stress-strain relationships to forces: concepts and applications. Consideration of engineering materials and their suitability in various structures and mechanisms. Students will create a design project at the graduate level that evidences a comprehensive and holistic understanding of two dimensional engineering mechanics. 4 Lecture hours. Prerequisites: MA 107, PS 201. Offered: Spring
