Statics & Strength Materials.

Catalog description

The first part of this course covers the application of the principles of engineering mechanics to problems involving equilibrium of particles and solids. Topics include resultants, equilibrium, friction, trusses, center of gravity and moments of inertia. The second part of this course introduces the principles of mechanics necessary for the solution of engineering problems relating to strength, stiffness and material selection. Topics covered include stress, strain, torsion, beams, columns and combined stresses at a point. Prerequisite: ENGR 101 Introduction to Engineering I. Co-requisite: MATH 261 Calculus II.
