Lectures

Semester 1, position 2

Goal

-to provide students knowledge of the fundamental principles of Statics. -to enable students to master the reduction of the system of forces to the simple form and determine conditions of equilibrium of the force system. -to prepare students for solving problems in different engineering and scientific fields.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: -Apply the principle of liberation from constraints of constrained body exposed to action of forces -Form conditions of equilibrium and determine unknown forces in case of concurrent forces system -Set conditions of equilibrium and determine unknown forces and torques in case of forces system in plane and in space and couples system -Determine basic static quantities (normal-force,shear-force and bending-moment) in cross-section of beams and frames as well as depict their diagram -Solve static problems regarded to sliding friction and rolling friction -Determine center of gravity of a body
