Credits:2

Weekly learning hour for Lecture, Seminar, Lab, Homework: 1:0:2:3

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Mechanic: Statics is a course for mechanical engineering students, which includes all three parts of the mechanics: statics, kinematics and dynamics and studies general laws of mechanical motions of material bodies and mechanical interactions between them.

1. Define fundamental concepts of statics including force, moment, and equilibrium.
2. Apply vector algebra and free-body diagrams to represent and analyze force systems.
3. Determine the resultant of concurrent, parallel, and general force systems in two and three dimensions.
4. Solve equilibrium problems for particles and rigid bodies using Newton’s first law.
5. Analyze structures such as trusses, frames, and machines using appropriate static methods.
6. Calculate internal forces (normal force, shear force, bending moment) in structural members.
7. Evaluate centroids and moments of inertia for composite areas.
8. Demonstrate problem-solving and analytical thinking in applying statics principles to engineering problems.
