Course Description

The first part of this course called Statics covers the application of the principles of engineering mechanics to problems involving equilibrium of particles and solids. Topics include resulants, equilibrium, friction, trusses, center of gravity, and moments of inertia. The second part of this course called Strength of Materials 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. 3 credits
