CVEN 2121 Analytical Mechanics I: Statics-Spring 2018

Application of mechanics to the study of static equilibrium of rigid and elastic bodies. Topics includes composition and resolution of forces; moments and couples; equivalent force systems; free-body diagrams; equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies; forces in trusses and beams; frictional forces; first and second moments of area; moments and products of inertia; methods of virtual work and total potential energy.
