Introduction to fundamental mechanics applications of vector calculus; analysis of force systems; equilibrium of two- and three-dimensional systems; trusses, frames, friction; introduction to virtual work; centroids and area moments of inertia; relationship between internal stresses and deformations produced by external forces acting on simple elastic structures; normal and shear stresses and deformations produced by tensile, compressive, torsional, and bending loading of members; states of stress and failure; deflection of beams; elastic strain energy and impact loading; analysis of composites; stability and buckling of columns. 09/05/2016-12/14/2016 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 03:20PM - 04:20PM, Room to be Announced
