Description: Statics of particles. Rigid bodies: equivalent systems of forces, equilibrium. Centroids and centers of gravity. Static analysis of trusses, frames, and machines. Friction. Area moments ...

The truss shown above is DETERMINATE. Member loads depend on only equilibrium relations. Material properties, cross-sectional areas and member lengths do not factor in on the member loads. It is easy ...

Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...
