Goals The objective of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts and principles of statics with engineering applications. In the contex, topic regarding particles and rigid bodies in equilibrium, internal forces in one dimensional structural members, center of gravity, area and mass moment of inertia will be studied and analyzed in the course. In the statics-strength of materials parts, designing structural systems and determination of maximum loads which can be carried safely. By the end of the course, the students are expected to analyze system of forces and moments on structures in two and three-dimensions, to obtain the solution of a static problem by applying the basic concepts and principles of statics, to determine center of gravity, area/mass moment of inertia of composite bodies.
Course Content Introduction and Fundamental Principles, Vectors and Forces, Statics of a Particle, Rigid Bodies and Equivalant Force Systems, Center of Gravity, Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies, Internal Forces in One Dimensional Plane Bars, Plane and SpaceTtrusses, Moments ofIinertia, Introduction, Basic Principles, Internal Forces and State of Stress ,State of Strain, Kinematical Relations, Stress-Strain Relations (Hooke’s Law),Strain Energy, Allowable Stresses, Fundamentals of Strength of Bars, Stress Resultants, Equivalence Relations, Axial Normal Force, Shear Force, Bending, Torsion..
