Description

Version: 3.0 start 01 August 2021
 

Short description

 Statics deals with forces and torques acting on material bodies in equilibrium (not accelerated systems). Several methods exist for determining reactive and internal forces and torques. Statically indeterminate systems are studied through elastostatic relationships on tension and compression bars.

Learning objectives (competencies)
Objectives Competences Taxonomy levels
You are familiar with the basic concepts and notions of statics. These include space, mass, force, torque, point mass, rigid body and distributed forces. F K1, K2
You are capable to analyze systems in equilibrium by assuming they are rigid bodies. You will learn how to apply real mechanical systems to simplified models which can be analyzed with mechanical relationships. F, M K3
You can calculate reaction forces at supports and connections for three dimensional structures in equilibrium. F, M K4, K6
To be prepared for elastostatics you will learn how to calculate internal forces and moments acting on beams and frames. You will learn how to calculate internal forces with equilibrium conditions and  how to use differential relationships between load and moments. F, M K1, K3, K4
You are capable to apply both static and kinetic friction laws and to determine the forces involved between contacting surfaces. F, M K4
You are familiar with the basic concepts of the theory of elasticity, such as stress, strain, and Hookes law. You can calculate the load capacity of bars subjected to tension and compression. F, M K4
You can apply your specialized knowledge to real mechanical problems. You can identify your own deficiencies and obtain the required skills by your own. SE K3, K4, K6
