Course Objectives To develop a clear understanding of the principles of rigid body mechanics, assumptions and idealizations, equilibrium and internal force concepts, related applications. To introduce students to the fundamental aspects of stress analysis and enables them to understand internal forces and moments and their relation to the internal stresses and strains within simple elements under the influence of simple loading configurations.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will be able to characterize forces and moments acting upon a rigid body or a system of rigid bodies.
  • Students will be able to construct clear and concise free-body diagrams for any rigid body or system of rigid bodies.
  • Students will be able to develop and solve equilibrium equations in a free body diagram.
  • Students will be able to calculate stress and deformation in members under axial load and torsion.
  • Students will be able to use the principles of equilibrium of forces and moments to calculate stress in members under bending.
  • Students will be able to calculate deformations in beams under bending.
Course Content Statics and mechanics of materials; a review of vector algebra and force vectors; static equilibrium of particles; equivalent systems of forces; equilibrium of rigid bodies; distributed forces; centroid, center of gravity and moment of inertia; stress and strain; mechanical properties of materials; axial loading; torsion; pure bending; transverse
