EGR 207 Mechanics I - Statics
Topics include analysis and design of static structural systems using vector and scalar notation, resultants and equilibrium of force systems with an emphasis on graphical presentation (shear and moment diagrams), friction as a design constraint, centroids, introduction to bending stress response, area and mass moments of inertia, introduction to energy concepts and virtual work, and preparation of an engineering analysis report using field investigations of a real structure.
