Description

An introductory course in engineering mechanics dealing with conditions of equilibrium of structures and fluids. Topics include: two dimensional concurrent and non-concurrent force systems; resultant of forces; equilibrium of forces; distributed forces; centre of gravity; centroids; internal actions; analysis of beams (shear force and bending moment diagrams); analysis of frames (determinancy, internal hinges); analysis of trusses (methods of joints and sections); cables; fluid statics including hydorstatic pressure, body forces, buoyancy, stability, and manometry; introduction to three dimensional statics.

Assumed Knowledge: 2 unit HSC Mathematics
