Course Description:
The aim of this subject is to introduce the principles of statics and their practical application. To reach this the subject is divided into themes as follows: fundamentals of vector and matrix algebra, principles and fundamental laws of statics, description of forces, ideal supports, systems of forces in 2-D and 3-D, distributed forces, equilibrium of rigid structures, internal forces (axial force, shear force, bending moment), cantilever beams, two-supported beams, statically determinate multi-supported beams, pin-jointed trusses and frames, friction related problems, gravitational load, centre of gravity, second moment of area, Mohr’s circle of second moment of area, parallel axis theorem.

Competences:

Topics:
This course provides a basic introduction to mechanics, especially to static and strength of material; to develop confidence and competence in solving statics problems Topics: Force systems: resultant of coplanar force systems. Basic mechanical models: degree of freedom, cantilever, simple and overhanging beams. Reactions of statically determined beams and trusses. Internal effect of forces: tension and compression, bending, shearing and torsion. Centre of gravity. First and second moment of area. Stress state of tension and compression, bending, shearing and torsion. Combined loads. Sizing for strength. The maximum-shear-stress and the distortion-energy theory.
