AET 271 - Applied Statics

3 Credits
Lecture: 2 Lab: 2

Applied Statics covers the branch of mechanics concerned with bodies at rest and forces in equilibrium. Real force systems are studied by applying the principles of equilibrium to rigid bodies and simple structures. Distributed forces, determination of centroids, moments of inertia, analysis of structures, friction and related topics are presented. Applied methods including the use of software to evaluate static systems will be used.
