Thomas Rebold ENGR 8 Engineering Statics 10 15 2012

Students learn the principles of statics and their application to engineering problems. Topics include two- and three-dimensional force systems acting on particles and rigid bodies in equilibrium, analysis of trusses and beams, distributed forces, shear and bending moment diagrams, friction, center of gravity, centroids, and moments of inertia. Optional additional topics include fluid statics, cables, Mohr's circle, and virtual work.
