Goals The aim of this course is to enable students to understand the effects of forces in engineering systems and to provide them with fundamental engineering knowledge related to the principles of static equilibrium, force and moment analysis, and the behavior of structural elements. Furthermore, the course aims to equip students with the ability to apply these principles to analyze the behavior of furniture and structural components under loading conditions.
Course Content Defines and explains the concepts of force, moment, and equilibrium. Constructs free-body diagrams to analyze engineering problems. Analyzes and calculates planar force systems and their moment effects. Determines and solves forces acting in engineering systems using the conditions of static equilibrium. Evaluates the behavior of structural and furniture components under load by applying the principles of statics.
