This course covers force analysis and mechanics of materials. The notation of a vector and the properties of concurrent force systems are introduced. These properties are then applied to the equilibrium of a particle. The principles of rigid body equilibrium are explained and then applied to specific problems on frames and beams. The centers of gravity of simple and composed areas are given. Problems involving shearing force and bending moment are solved. Problems of stress and strain in different loading cases: axial, torsion and beam bending are also considered.
