MATH-3355 Engineering Mechanics: Statics

This course covers intermediate static mechanics, an application and extension of the fundamental concepts and methods introduced in MATH-2410 and PHYS-2420. It includes topics such as problem formulation and solution methods in Mechanical Engineering; two-and-three-dimensional vector representation of forces, moments and couples; static equilibrium of particles, rigid bodies, and engineering structures; analysis of external and internal forces in structures via the methods of free-body diagrams; and properties of cross-sectional areas. TI-83 or higher version of calculator is required.
