ENGR& 214 - Statics

Credits: (5)
Natural Sciences
Non-deformable, rigid body mechanics applied to structures that are at rest or move with constant velocity. Introduces modeling positions, forces, and moments within structural components as vectors; static equilibrium; free body diagrams; internal forces (shear/moment diagrams); centroids and centers of gravity; moments of inertia; and friction. Emphasis given to practical applications and how the subject applies in industry.
