Engineering Mechanics I

Catalog description

Fundamental concepts of mechanics. Statics of particles. Moments and equivalent systems of forces on rigid bodies; equilibrium of rigid bodies. Distributed forces-centroids and centers of gravity. Analysis of trusses, frames and machines. Internal normal and shearing forces, bending moments, and torque. Shear and bending moment diagrams, relations between distributed load, shear, and bending moment. Friction. Distributed forces area moments of inertia. Prerequisites: A minimum grade of "C" in MATH 2253 and PHYS 2211K.
