A course on structural mechanics, focusing on cases of static equilibrium.
Vectors Mechanics: 2-D, 3-D, forces, moments, couples, and wrenches, Varignon's Theorem, components, vector algebra (summation, dot product, cross product, RHR), resultants. Static Equilibrium: types of constraints, static determinacy. Structures: trusses, members, internal forces, methods of analysis, machines. Centroids: Theorem of Pappus, methods of analysis, distributed forces. Beams: axial, shear, and bending moment diagrams. Cables: Flexible, parabolic, and catenary cables. Hydrostatics: fluid pressure on a surface, buoyancy. Methods of analysis. Friction: linear and cable friction. Moments of Inertia: Methods of analysis, Parallel Axis Theorem, products of inertia, rotation of axes, Mohr's Circle.
Mostly just read off of his slides which are copied from the textbook. Curves the final grade though.
Do practice questions and attend tutorials.
