ENGR 212. Statics and Introductory Solid Mechanics

Credits 4.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 012263 Grading Basis GRD

This course introduces the fundamental and governing principles of systems of forces acting on rigid bodies, beams and columns; and the analysis of truss, frame and machine structures. Topics include external and internal equilibrium of rigid bodies; systems of force and moment vectors; centroids; friction; loading that results in uniaxial, shear, flexure, and torsion stresses and strains; buckling; and strength of materials. An included laboratory component provides reinforcement of course material through experiments. Prerequisite(s): MATH 236 and PHYS 240 ; and minimum grade of “C-” in ENGR 112 . Engineering majors only.
