ME 205 - Engineering Statics4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This is a study of force systems acting on bodies that are not in motion. The course includes analysis of forces in trusses, frames and machine components; additional topics include friction, location of centroids, and evaluation of area and mass moments of inertia. Not for credit for students who have credit in AE 200 . (prereq: MA 137 , high school physics)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Draw free body diagrams for static systems
- Perform 2-D equilibrium analysis using scalar analysis
- Perform 3-D equilibrium analysis using vector analysis
- Determine internal forces in trusses, frames and machines
- Analyze the effect of friction in static systems
- Compute area and mass moments of inertia of shapes and bodies
