Course Objectives The objective of this course is to develop an understanding of the principles of statics and to construct free body diagrams, to analyze distributed loads, to be able to draw shear and bending-moment diagrams for beams and machine elements, to obtain knowledge of the laws of dry friction and to be able to calculate centroids and moments of inertia for areas.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • draw free body diagrams in a plane and in space.
  • apply the equations of equilibrium to a particle and rigid bodies.
  • analyze forces acting on the members of simple trusses, frames and machines in static equilibrium.
  • demonstrate shear force and bending moment diagrams.
  • examine dry friction and rigid bodies subjected to dry friction.
Course Description This course covers important vector concepts, classification and equivalence of force systems and free body diagrams, analysis of structures; trusses, beams, cables and chains, dry friction, first and second moment of areas, virtual work.
