Goals
The module teaches the basic methods and interconnections of statics for the description and analysis of rigid bodies. After successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
Analyze and solve structural problems independently.
Explain the free-body principle and the free body diagram based on it.
Determine static equilibrium conditions of rigid bodies.
Analytically calculate bearing reactions (incl. friction effects).
Analyze statically determined truss.
Determine stress values (internal forces) on the beam.
Topics
- Fundamental quantities, measuring units, vector analysis
- Introduction into model creation, concept of force
- Plane and three-dimensional groups of forces
- NEWTON’s law of motion
- Statics of rigid bodies
- Parallel groups of forces, centre of force and centre of gravity
- Adhesion and friction, rope friction
- Beams and frames
- Concepts of work and energy, stability
