Prerequisites
Not applicable.
Objectives
This course should provide an in depth introduction of static equilibrium.
At the end of the course, the students should know how to determine centroids and centres of gravity and be able to examine structures.
Program
1. Statics of Particles: plane and space forces.
2. Rigid Bodies: Equivalent Systems of Forces (Two- and three-dimensional
3. Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies).
4. Distributed Forces, Centroids and Centres of Gravity.
5. Structural analysis
Evaluation Methodology
The final mark (NFinal) is calculated considering a weight of 75% for the exams grades (NProvas) and 25% for individual coursework (NTrab.):
NFinal=0,75xNprovas+0,25xNtrab
