AER21002   Engineering Statics   (10 credits)

Description

The course provides the fundamental concepts and techniques used in Engineering Statics. Two-dimensional statics are covered including force and moment systems, free body diagrams, equilibrium, friction, and the application to structures (such as beams, frames and trusses) that will be encountered in aerospace engineering applications. No prior knowledge of statics is assumed; the treatment concentrates on physical understanding and applications in engineering, rather than using advanced mathematical treatments.
