3- Lecture notes Specific course information
a. Catalog description Fundamentals of statics of rigid bodies. This includes studying of force,
moment, and couple, their resultant and equilibrium. including friction, with application to
structural elements. The Energy methods are considered as an introduction to vector mechanics.
Fundamentals of dynamics of rigid bodies. This includes studying of kinematics of rectilinear and
curvilinear motion of particles, kinematics of rotation and plane motion of rigid bodies, dynamics of
particles.
b. Prerequisite NA
c. Required / Elective Required
Specific goals for the course By the completion of this course the students should be able to:
5. Define the basic concepts of the mechanics, space, frame of reference, rigid body, Newtonian and
vector mechanics, etc. . . . . .
6. Analyze of the force as a vector in space.
7. Evaluate the resultant of a system of concurrent forces.
8. Recognize and understand of the concept of equilibrium of a particle.
9. Analyze the moment of a force and moment of a couple.
10. Apply the concept of equilibrium to rigid bodies.
11. Identify the different types of beams and calculate reactions.
12. Analyze trusses by evaluating reactions and internal forces in members.
13. Evaluate the friction of metal and evaluate the frictional force.
14. Determine the properties of an area.
15. Analyze kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies. Compute different dynamical
parameters for planar motion.
