MET 2124: Statics with Applications

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: (MATH 1190 or (MATH 1179 and MATH 1189)) and (PHYS 1111 and PHYS 1111L) or (PHYS 2211 and PHYS 2211L)
2D and 3D forces and moments acting on components, machine parts, frames, and structures are analyzed. Static rigid body force systems in equilibrium, including friction applications are included. Distributed load calculations using centroids and centers of gravity located by composite and CAD methods are practiced. An introduction to calculating the moments of inertia of machines and structures is also included. Real 2D and 3D design applications are emphasized. Assumptions considering safety, economics, quality and function are discussed. Not equivalent to ENGR 2214,
