MEC 2035 - Statics & Strengths of Materials


4 cr
This course focuses on two related topics: the analysis of mechanical systems under static load conditions and the resulting stress in the structures and materials. It follows introductory physics and emphasizes problem- solving skills while addressing commonly used structures and mechanisms. It begins with the analysis of forces and moments on static structures and mechanisms and then applies the methods of statics to analyze the stresses and strains in material structures due to tension, compression loads, shearing, and bending. The student uses stress analysis to evaluate material strength and design limitations of structures and mechanisms.
