Course Objectives The objective of this course is to learn the theory of engineering mechanics of rigid body along with detailed applications.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Characterize forces and moments acting upon a rigid body or a system of rigid bodies.
  • Construct clear and concise free-body diagrams for any rigid body or system of rigid bodies.
  • Develop equations of equilibrium from free-body diagrams.
  • Solve equations of equilibrium.
  • Draw moment and shear diagrams.
  • Apply basic design concepts.
Course Description In this course, basic information about the principles of engineering mechanics is introduced. The course covers the principles of calculation of the equilibrium of the rigid bodies, concepts of moment, couple and resultant. Equations of equilibrium, drawings of free-body diagram, shear and bending moment diagrams of beams, calculation of centroid of area, moment of inertia, distributed and hydrostatic forces, solution of frame and truss systems, cables, friction and virtual work method is planned to discuss.
