Concepts of mechanics are applied to structures, machine components, and frames. Stresses and deformations resulting from axial, shear, torsional, and flexural loads are considered. Kinematics and kinetics of motion are introduced.
Learning Outcomes1Solve linear and rotational kinematics problems that are based on constant or linearly-varying acceleration.
2Apply the principles of dynamic equilibrium to solve linear particle and rotational kinetics problems.
3Calculate axial stress, shear stress, bearing stress, torsional stress, and flexural stress.
4Use material properties and design factors to confirm simple loading of machines, frames, beams, and columns.
