Engineering Mechanics I (Statics)
Principles of statics (concurrent forces in a plane and in space). Force and moment equilibrium (analytical and graphical methods). Distributed force system. The first and second moment of area. (The centroid and the moments of inertia for an area). Load bearing structures (free body, constraints, plane rigid structures, reaction forces). Principle of virtual displacements (kinematical determination of reaction forces). Plane, statically determined trusses (realization and methods of analysis). Statically determined beams (axial and shear forces, bending moments and diagrams M,Q,N). Compound beams and simple isostatic frames (diagrams M,Q,N). Arches ( three-hinged arch, parabolic arch). Flexible cables. Stable and unstable equilibrium. Friction (Colomb’s friction law).
