EGR 942 — ENGIN 2201 (EGR 942) Statics 3 Credit Hours
This course studies the internal forces that develop inside a structure or machine in equilibrium due to applied external forces. The course's topics begin with force vectors, moment vectors, distributed loads, particle equilibrium, and rigid body equilibrium in two and three dimensions. These concepts are applied toward the analysis of trusses, frames, machines, and beams. The course's topics conclude with a study of centroids, moments of inertia, friction, and virtual work. This course is intended for mechanical, civil, and industrial engineering majors. (3 lecture hours)
