MECH 2010 - Statics

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

Fundamentals of static analysis required for Mechanical Engineering majors. Students learn to analyze bodies in equilibrium. Topics include: force vectors, equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies, structural analysis, internal forces, friction, centroids, and moments of inertia. Inclusive Access Course Material (electronic book) fees may apply, see Fees tab under each course section for details. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Reduce real-world problems into solvable statics problems using appropriate simplifying assumptions and free-body diagrams. 2. Analyze particles, 2D rigid bodies, and 3D rigid bodies subject to mechanical loads, such as forces, moments, and/or friction, using vector mathematics. 3. Calculate forces and moments in trusses and/or machines using method of sections and/or method of joints. 4. Produce shear and moment diagrams for beams subject to forces, moments, and/or distributed loads. 5. Calculate the center of mass of rigid bodies. Prerequisites: MATH 1220 AND PHYS 2210 OR ENGR 2050 AND PHYS 2010 and can be taken concurrently. FA
