Objectives
The students should get familiar with the application of vector algebra to static and with the concepts of static equilibrium of rigid bodies. In the analysis of structures the students should identify the loads and connecting forces with or without friction (Coulomb). Transmit to the student the fundamental concepts to obtain the first moment and the second moment and product of areas and solids (the centroid and the inertia matrix).
Program
Introduction to vector mechanics applied to statics and presentation of the concepts of Force, Moment, couple and resultant of a force system. Static equilibrium in two and three dimensional systems. System Definition and its free body diagram. Introduction to structural mechanics: method of joints and method of sections in a simple truss. Introduction to the study of simple contact Friction (Coulomb).
Properties of surfaces and bodies. First moment of area and centroid. Theorems of Pappus-Guldinus. Second moment and product second moment of areas and solids. Transfer theorem (Steiner). Rotation of axes and relations between second moment and product second moment of area. Principal axes and matrix of inertia.
