EGR 200 - Engineering Statics

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Engineering

Description:

A vector mechanics study of forces acting on static particles and rigid bodies. Equilibrium of rigid bodies, distributed body forces acting on centroid, centers of gravity and moments of inertia, analysis of structures, forces in beams and cables, friction and virtual work are topics covered. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Resolve forces acting in plane and space configurations; Develop equivalent-force systems by means of vector, dot, cross, and triple products; Solve equilibrium problems on two- and three-dimensional bodies; Determine the effect of distributed forces on bodies in terms of center of gravity and moment of inertia; Analyze the internal forces on structures such as trusses, frames, machines, beams, and cables; Investigate the friction between moving components on mechanisms such as wedges, screws, bearings, wheels, and belts; Use the method of virtual work to solve for forces, mechanical efficiency, potential energy, equilibrium, and stability.
