CIVE 2221 — Statics and Solid Mechanics
4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: falltypical days: M/W/ThBostonTraditional
Connects fundamentals of Newtonian physics to the stresses and deformations in solids. Introduces properties of areas and volumes (centroidal axes, moments of inertia); equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies in two and three dimensions; analysis of internal forces in trusses and simple frames; shear and moment diagrams in beams; computation of stresses induced by axial force, moment, shear, and torque; and mechanical properties of materials.
