Applies the principles of statics to the study of forces both external and internal to the body, moments and couples, responsible for maintaining a state of equilibrium. Uses the principles of strength to investigate the effects of external and internal loadings on the stability and deformation of the body. Analyzes two- and three-dimensional force systems including frictional forces, support reactions, and distributed forces with respect to rigid bodies, trusses, frames, machines, beams, and shafts. Incorporates concepts of centroids, area moments of inertia, stresses, strains, Mohr’s Circle, shear and bending moment diagrams, ductile and brittle failure theories, and deformations associated with axial, torsional, and flexural loadings. Surveys analysis of statically indeterminate axially loaded members.Usually HeldTue Thu 8:00am–9:50am
