MT 4502 - Mechanics3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course is designed as an introduction to engineering mechanics for electrical engineering technology students. Topics include an introduction to vector algebra; equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies in a plane; velocity and acceleration analysis of simple mechanisms; Hooke’s Law and stresses in members subjected to axial, torsion and bending loads. (prereq: MA 225 , PH 113 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Draw free body diagrams
- Perform 2-D equilibrium analysis using vectors to solve simple problems involving particles, rigid bodies, frames, and machines
- Relate stress and strain in a mechanical element
- Relate position, velocity, acceleration, and force in mechanical systems
