EGR 215 Rigid Body Statics
This course introduces the theory and application of engineering mechanics to analyze systems of forces in static equilibrium acting upon particles and rigid bodies. Topics include vector analysis of concentrated and distributed force systems by using free body diagrams, moments of forces, analysis of trusses and frames and machines, couples and equivalent systems, internal forces and moments, friction, centroids, centers of gravity and mass, and moments of inertia.
