ENGR1080 — Statics
ENGR 1080 - Statics ENGR 1080 - Statics Hours/Week: Lecture 3 Lab 0 Course Description: This course examines rigid body mechanics where bodies are in equilibrium. Topics include force and moment vectors, principles of statics, and equilibrium analysis. In addition, the course covers static analysis of simple trusses, frames, and machines. Distributed loads, centroids, moments of inertia, and principles of friction will be presented. Design of simple structures in equilibrium is integrated throughout the course. MnTC Goals None Major Content General principles of engineering mechanics Force vectors Equilibrium of a particle Force system resultants Equilibrium of a rigid body Structural analysis (trusses, frames, machines) Internal forces Friction Center of gravity and centroid Moments of inertia Learning
