EGR 215 Rigid Body Statics
This course provides engineering students a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of engineering mechanics to analyze problems-based on forces in static equilibrium acting upon particles and rigid bodies-in a simple and logical manner. Topics include vector analysis of concentrated and distributed force systems by using free body diagrams, moments of force, structural analysis and trusses, couples and equivalent systems, internal forces, friction, centroids, centers of gravity and mass, moments of inertia, and virtual work.
