Statics and Material Properties for Mechatronics. ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

Prerequisite(s): University Advanced Standing Corequisite(s): MECH 3405 Teaches the concept of forces as vectors, the equations of equilibrium, calculation of internal forces, and the calculation of centroids and area moments of inertia. Teaches how to calculate tensile and shear stress in machine components and compare the resultant forces to standard theories of failure using the principles of statics. Teaches algebra, trigonometry, and elementary calculus in terms of the application of statics.
